= SYMPTOMS =

After you complete the Lifetime Planner in Microsoft Money 99, your own Social Security taxes may be applied to both you and your spouse or partner in the Yearly Snapshot subsection of the Results tab.

= CAUSE =

This behavior can occur if you are classified as self-employed in the Income tab of the Lifetime Planner.

NOTE: This behavior occurs regardless of whether your spouse or partner receives income or is self-employed. If your spouse or partner does receive income, however, your own Social Security taxes are added to your spouse or partner’s Social Security taxes and displayed as your spouse or partner’s Social Security taxes.

= RESOLUTION =

If your spouse or partner is not self-employed, you can work around this issue by swapping information with your spouse or partner in the Lifetime Planner. To do this, follow these steps:


 * 1) On the Money navigation bar, click Planner.
 * 2) Click Lifetime Planner.
 * 3) In the left pane, click About You.
 * 4) Under You, enter your spouse or partner’s name and personal information.
 * 5) Under Partner, enter your own name and personal information.

When you enter financial and personal information in the remainder of the Lifetime Planner areas, make sure to enter your spouse or partner’s information under your name, and your own information under your spouse or partner’s name.

= STATUS =
