The Tax Man

Over the last several years continuing to use our tax man has become too expensive. Not in tax preparation but in the mistakes made, things not filed and in [gulp] back-taxes.

So this year we went where none in our clan have gone before, plunking down hard-earned cash for some Tax prep software which instantly transformed me into the Tax man. That, aside from a nicely quiet Easter celebration, was the weekend.

Finished it all last night and if it's to be believed, the software programmers did something the accountant never could; produce a substantial Federal and State return. Of course, being taxed on sales commissions helps. As does seeing your itemized deductions grow substantially over last year courtesy of the Home Mortgage Interest on a ridiculous loan.

We'll see what the IRS has to say about it all a little later.
