Spanish term

nada mas estar llenando income tax.

Spanish to English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from American English into Dominican Spanish.

It's a translation of a phone conversation between two Dominican People living in The US.

Here is the full sentence:

Spanish speaking 1: Tu lo que querías era un hombre que te preñara para tener la gallina de los huevos de oro. Esto es lo que quieres con “Miguel” nada más estar llenando income tax.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Yvonne Gallagher

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

nothing more than filling out income tax returns

This makes more sense to me that 'filling oneself with inccme tax'.

neutral Gabrielle Oke : Now that I think about it, you might be right. I wish there was more context.
