DITTO!!! I agree. It is much easier to write in what you want then searching for it on that huge sheet of paper!raebates said:I always select the write-ins. We have so many products, my guests have trouble finding what they want on the itemized lists.
cathyskitchen said:Write ins! Even when we didn't have them yet and only had the itemized, I used to use the outside order forms as my "receipts" at shows, b/c the print is so small on the itemized and the items are so hard to find. You would think it would be easy for people to just check things off, but I've found that even though it's less work to check off an item than write it in, people order more from me on the write-ins b/c they're not completely overwhelmed by both the catalog (which is overwhelming enough) and then that huge, gigantic, itemized receipt!! That's interesting that 80% use the write-ins - I wonder if they've considered just going to the write-ins exclusively from now on? Most other direct sales companies only use write-in forms now, too (from recent experience, Silpada, Tupperware, SLAH, all do the write-ins). Only Tastefully Simple and Creative Memories has the itemized from what I've seen lately.

When I spoke to one of the HO workers in the "new kit room" at Leadership, she said that the kit includes write-ins because about 80% of the receipts sold on supply order are write-ins.ChefBeckyD said:I'm the same as everyone else - write-ins.
I think I heard or read somewhere that something like 80% use the write-ins.
The "Ins" method refers to taking the standard deduction, which is a set amount determined by the government and based on your filing status. The "Itemized" method allows you to deduct specific expenses, such as medical expenses, mortgage interest, and charitable donations, from your taxable income.
The method that will benefit you the most will depend on your individual financial situation. If your total itemized deductions are higher than the standard deduction, then it would make sense to choose the "Itemized" method. Otherwise, the "Ins" method may be more beneficial.
Yes, you can choose whichever method makes the most sense for your tax situation each year. Keep in mind that once you choose a method and file your taxes, you cannot change it for that tax year.
Using the "Itemized" method allows you to deduct specific expenses, which can potentially lower your taxable income and reduce your overall tax bill. It also gives you more control over which deductions you take, allowing you to potentially save more money.
One potential downside of using the "Itemized" method is that it requires more record-keeping and documentation. You will need to keep track of all your expenses and have proof of these deductions in case of an audit. It may also take more time and effort to calculate and file your taxes using the "Itemized" method.
