Taxes

I hate taxes. I don't think anyone likes them, but I hate them. All that paperwork and I get back $50. It doesn't seem worth it.

I use Turbo Tax. For the most part it asks easy questions with straightforward answers. I use this program because I've been using it for years and it updates my information every year without me re-typing it. There are other, equally good programs, that will also update information yearly, but since I've already typed it into Turbo Tax, I'll just keep using it.

There are some friendly helpful people, called VITA volunteers, that will do or check taxes for free. And the IRS on Juliana Street will do or check taxes for free.

I hate taxes, but I love free stuff.

The biggest reason I hate taxes is I'm always worried I'm going to mess up and not get as big a refund as I should. With the help of my friendly local VITA and IRS people, may be I wont hate taxes so much in the future.

Okay, no. I'll still hate them.
