FROM THE PRESIDENT

---

Well, it’s tax season. Normally they’d be done by now, but Turbo Tax has changed their delivery system this year and you can no longer buy the DVD, you can only download it. The fun part is they will not tell you how much you owe until you complete your input and will not let you see the actual return until you pay them. They did show me what I owed, but after payment they added a business return for Arizona for a business I do not have.  So I did not have them file my state return, but they charged me anyway. Turbo Tax is done in my world.

You know what is also dumb? My income and withholding from all sources have already been reported to the IRS. They know my address, my filing status, and how much I made. They can tell from last year’s return what my deductions are. They already know what I owe, yet I need to pay to have them done and then if I do them wrong, I must pay a fine for getting it wrong. They should send me a completed tax return and a bill or a check. Easy Peasy. And I don’t have a real complicated return. 

Anyway, it promises to be a beautiful week weatherwise. So, get those taxes in the mail and enjoy the great outdoors while we can.
