Saturday/ doing my taxes

I finally knuckled down on Saturday3-28-2015 3-10-13 PM and submitted my 2014 federal and state tax forms (due April 15th here in the USA).   It was the first time in many years that I had to get my hands dirty and do the work myself (without the help of H&R Block or my firm’s resources).

I selected TurboTax tax software to prepare and file the forms electronically.   The outcome : NO tax refund for me! I have to send in a check since I paid too little during the year.   It was a little unnerving to enter my Social Security Number and financial information on-line.  Identity theft and tax refund fraud have skyrocketed in recent years .. and the IRS is simply not equipped and staffed to handle all the thievery.  Come on, Congress !  Get some funds and help the IRS to put better processes, checks and systems in place !

Tea Party
Yes, we know how you feel .. but please note:
1. It’s amendment;
2. So cut the US Defense Budget by 18%? I’m all for that.
3. Not so sure about doing away with Social Security and healthcare for everyone. You will grow old as well.
4. And finally – like it or not – as an American you own the payment of a little interest on the US $18 trillion national debt every year.
