LOL@ me. I meant the previous post to be a draft to be added to later. It slipped past my noticing... I guess I left it "scheduled" rather than "draft".
But I did my taxes yesterday. It was miserable even with helpful software. There are questions I don't truly understand, so I just do my best. I probably make some mistakes. But I bet I overpay rather than underpay. I'll survive. If I get audited, they will probably owe ME money.
The annoying thing is that my e-filing was rejected for the wrong PIN. My taxes took 2 hours to do and trying to figure out the PIN error took 3. I will probably never try to e-file again.
So I printed the damn forms out and will snail-mail them as usual. I'll have to stand in line at the Post Office to get the proper postage and a receipt. I'll get a few $100 back on the Federal and pay a few $100 to the State. It balances out, so I don't really care very much.
But it sure could be simpler... If H&R Block and other places can offer tax software that the Govt accepts as accurate, so could the Govt. And it would be more official that way. If they made a mistake in the software, it wouldn't be MY error. Maybe that's why they don't. 😀

This is why we pay the accountant a small fortune to do it, time is money and we'd rather have the time. :)
