Ok. You can do expenses and I'll do deductions. 🙂

I do like Turbo Tax though. I've been using'em for years. So far so good... But we'll see.

Do all American citizens have to work their own tax out?

Nah. You can do them yourself or have a service/tax accountant do them for you. For a fee of course.

Same here. Turbo Tax has worked for me.

I finished mine last night...so hah.

Imagine my joy when at almost midnight I "found" a nice $1000 deduction that had fallen into the recesses of my filing cabinet.

Good luck.

That reminds me of one of the American Revolutionists' mottos, "No Taxation Without Representation." At least we got the representation to go with our taxation (or so we think).

Yep. You got it. Of course sometimes the government owes me money. I'll be happy to break even.

Yes but when you think about it, they're just giving you back some of your own money that they were able to use all year. But even then it's nice to get some of it back.

I get charged near $100 bucks to have my taxes done... I think I'll try Turbo next year.

Good news, did my taxes early!
Bad news, now the money is spent!

That's correct. Basically the govt gets an interest free loan for a year, then gives the money back at the end.

Not a bad deal for them huh?

Well it may not save you much. Turbo charges me $59 to do the fed return and $25 for the state. I kinda like doing'em though. My wife does the record keeping during the year and then all I have to do is put it all together. The thing I really like is being able to do it from my home pc. It's really just about convienance for me.

I recommend it though.

I mean no offense by this, but I don't understand why people go to such troube to have their taxes done. Since I was sixteen I have just read the books and done them myself. Time consuming, but not so terribly difficult. The best part is that they don't change much from year to year, so it often gets easier each year.
