I think they need a way less complicated tax system to avoid all the confusion. But then, who is listening to me?
TIS
I'm listening. I am a proponant of the flat tax(however with qualifications).
I always do my taxes in February after I get all the documents I need but don't submit them until April 15 (via on-line).
My goal is to try to break even or at the worst owe some $$ to the feds. I never want to get a refund back.
I have been doing taxes on-line via Tax Cut fr six years now and it seems to work well. It is just a pain as I hae to complete two different state versions (Mo / KS).
I have been audited three times and predict I will this year as well.
S.B -- My wife works in a real estate office. There is one agent that automatically sticks 50% of her commission in a savings account or other investment opportunity everytime she gets paid. That way April 15 is not so difficult and she makes a bit more on interest. She told me she does not file quarterly as she manages that "tax money" and actually will invest it in short term bonds and CDs to make even more interst than a normal savings account.
