liggy, come to think of it, I got some wacky tax stuff this year myself ....... can you send me a similar PM ? (either that or hook me up w/ DonBob's AIM )

 

pm sent, daddy-0

 

I was quoted $300+ for my tax return

there's gotta be a cheaper alternative for us corporate peons.

 

Cheaper alternative #1 ...... you're a smart person, what do you figure your time is worth?

 

the way i'm looking at it... what can $350 get me?

Two nights of debauchery in belltown.

One great dinner at canlis.

a pair of ferragamo shoes

1 comptech intake

2004 tax service? NO WAY, i'll just get turbotax and dealio

 

 

I figure:

a) I'm an engineer, I've got to be smarter than whoever designed this form

b) I'm single with only one job, so my taxes aren't too complex

c) what I might save by hiring a tax specialist is less than what the tax specialist would cost

d) it's kind of fun, in a geeky way

so e) I just do my own. Only takes one evening, or maybe two at the most. I would have just spent it watching WW2's Greatest Blunders on the History Channel anyway. It might be different if I had picked up a mail-order bride or something.

(So Eric, come on back to the track, dude! We miss you...)

 

What chu talkin bout Willis..........................
