Employee: Hey boss! I’ve found a way to make all tax laws perfectly understandable and not subject to any interpretations!
Boss: WILSON! YOU’RE FIRED!

Heh. My husband REFUSES to pay anyone to do our taxes. He does them, every year.

And every year, he makes some sort of error.

And so every year, we get a letter from the IRS about a tax return from a couple of years ago, telling us where the error is and what our additional tax (and penalty & interest) is.

It used to bother me, really it worried me a lot, to get an IRS letter every year. Not so much worried about it anymore.

When the tax laws and forms are so damned complicated that a reasonably intelligent person makes a mistake every year? I’ve got no problem being a thorn in the side of the IRS.
