3)  List pun tax under local taxes on the itemized deducations.  For
non-monetary donations, list the helm/garb/sword donated specifically and
in detailed account.

4)  List the crushing defeat at the last tourney as a catastrophic loss.

5)  List the ladies/lords who approached you in the last cloven fruit game
as interest earned.

6)  List the ladies/lords you passed the fruit to as interst paid.

7) Make out a seperate tax form for your persona, listing the assets and
liabilities he/she would have had for running the manor house (tithings and
gifts to royals included).

8)  List your fictional castle as a real estate holding.

9)  Use the farm income or loss section for your herb garden.

10)  List the trips to your surgeon as medical expenses.  (Always list
amounts paid in number of chickens or goats.)

11)  List your alternate persona as a spouse.  (No, wait, no SS#...darn.)

12)  List leading strings as child care expenses.

13)  List your slaves/servants/retainers/squires under household employees.

I'm sure that's a start, anyway.
