It's not only Oscar season, it's tax season as well.
Nothing I can do about that.
But I do know that TurboTax makes it simple and convenient
to do your taxes online with the new TurboTax live.
And I'm going to show you what I mean
in a new game called, Gross income, or just plain gross.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
God, it took a long time to set that up.
That was-- first I need a contestant.
Where is Sarah Gower?
Come on down.
[CHEERS]
Sarah, first of all, where do you live and what do you do?
I'm from Nashville, Tennessee.
Well from Michigan originally, but I'm
in medical device sales.
Make up your mind.
Where are you from?
I'm from Michigan.
I live in Nashville.
Great.
I like the hair flip when you laugh too.
All right, and what do you do.
I'm in medical device sales.
All right, good.
I don't know what that means.
OK.
So here's how it works.
I'm going to ask you a question.
OK.
And for every question you get right,
you're going to reach into that bucket.
And if you get the bucket with confetti,
you're going to win $10,000.
OK.
All right.
OK.
If you reach into the wrong bucket,
you're going to get something else.
Which is the other part of the title is--
Will it ruin my shirt?
It could be-- Yes.
OK cool.
But if you get to $10,000, you can buy another shirt.
That true.
That's true.
Worth it.
And if you don't, you're on television.
OK.
But don't worry, I'm going to give you a lifeline.
With TurboTax live, you have a tax expert
by your side to answer all your questions,
and make sure your taxes are done right.
And you're going to get your very own expert for this game.
Let's meet our tax expert.
This is Lisa right here.
Hi Lisa.
Hi Ellen.
Hey Sarah.
Oh she can see us?
Yes.
Oh wow.
OK.
Yes she can see you and she can hear you.
So if you have a question.
If you don't think you have the answer, you can ask Lisa.
She's here to help with all of your needs.
Anything.
That's what's great about TurboTax.
OK.
Here we go.
Oh I'll put this on in a minute.
You know what, put it on now for the game.
OK cool.
OK.
That works.
All right Sara, if Diddy needs 20 bottles of Sarak Vodka when
he appears on our show, can we deduct all
of that as a business expense?
Lisa can we?
Lisa, what do you think?
If Diddy needs 50 bottles of Sarak,
you can deduct that as long as it's directly related
to your business.
Wow, that's so great.
I'm sweating.
So basically, he could ask for 20,
and I could pretend he asked for 50.
And I'd did get the other 30.
And we write it off.
I learned how to get some free vodka.
All right good.
All right.
So you can go pick one of those.
Go from the side over here.
And then you'll just reach down.
Oh no.
Whichever one you think.
One, two, three, four, five.
What do I?
Three!
Four!
Two!
[CHEERS]
No.
All right.
Let that be a lesson.
Don't listen to them.
Listen to yourself, and listen to Lisa.
All right.
Yeah.
All right.
Good.
See.
See what happens.
What is that?
I don't know.
It could be toxic, I don't know.
All right.
If you live on a boat, can you still claim head of household,
or should you claim had a boat hold?
Oh I don't have a boat, so Lisa.
Lisa, what do you think?
You could claim head of household
as long as you're not married, as long as you provide support
to a dependent and they live with you more than half
the year.
So if you don't do that, you would
have to claim head of houseboat, not head of household.
All right.
All right, so that's your answer.
Go pick another one.
Good luck.
Four!
Two!
OK.
Can't see anything.
This isn't working out for me.
Well don't listen to them.
You have to follow.
Put that back on.
OK.
You have to follow your gut.
I can't see anything.
It doesn't matter.
OK.
All right.
You don't need to see, you just have to listen.
OK.
All right.
Portia and I don't have kids, hallelujah.
But if we did, what's the age limit
for claiming a kid as a dependant.
I would guess 18.
You'd guess 18.
Lisa is she right?
Yes.
Under 19 you can claim them.
And if they're a college student, under 24.
Wow.
OK good.
So under 19 or a college student.
[LAUGHING]
Apparently I'm wrong too.
Oh no.
Look, we've narrowed it down.
It's getting closer to the $10,000.
What do you haven't chosen three or five, right.
Nope.
Two or five, all right.
So you're going to choose two or five.
It's a busy time of year for accountants.
Who starred in the movie the accountant?
Ben Affleck.
Yes.
You are right.
Yes.
