Taxes

I am willing to lobby hard for anyone who simplifies the tax code. I mean, why all this crap of deductions, exemptions and subtract the lower of line 8 or 9 from line 10?? What is that crap about? You would think with the all the advances in tax preparation software, online tax portals, e-filing and the simple fact that I have been doing this for a very long time now the process should be easy right? WRONG! This thing is getting worse by the minute and it says a lot coming from me since I don't itemize.

I am so down for a national sales tax or just a flat tax across the board on everything. This process is dare I say, "taxing" on the mind, body, and wallet/pocketbook. I guess I just needed to rant about this for a second or two after agonizing over my taxes for the last 4 hours. And yeah, I owe but it is perfectly within my acceptable range. Could have been much worse.

I think next year I may have to go see a tax professional. Ya think?
