I spent all week working on my income tax! I could have done it in one long, many hours session, but this is winter, and there is nothing pressing, so I worked on it for short periods of time, and that way I never felt frustrated by having to deal with, and look for all the figures! For the first many years of our married life I had an accountant prepare the taxes. Then one year a tax accountant realized that we didn't make much money, and he was a good person, so he told me, "Your taxes are really simple. Go home and do them yourself, and don't pay me what you can't afford!" That was in 1980, and I did my own taxes for many years, until year 2004 my taxes got more complicated with deprecation scedules and buiness information, so since that time, I have gathered the information and taken it to an accountant. Not having the headache, and letting someone do the taxes who knows all the laws is worth what I am having to pay. The accountant is smart enough to figure my taxes out so that I have to pay very little, and I am sure that I save enough to pay what she is charging, and then it is less complicated for me! Anyway I have them completed, and I will take them to our youngest daughter tomorrow, and ask her to deliver the figures to the accountant bedcause she drives right by the accountant's office every day! Then when the accountant completes the taxes on the IRS form for me I will pick up the completed work, and mail it to the IRS. I will have a completed copy of the completed IRS form, and I will worry about that no more!
