My taxes are easy:

1) Collect income statements
2) Take personal exemption and standard deduction
3) Look up tax in table
4) Done

What are you all complaing about? :wink:

Yeah, well...I bet you which your taxes were more complex because right now you're paying a good amount. We sent ours in today. Luckily, I didn't have anything to do with it! As a disorganized person who's done taxes in the past, I would say this is definitely preferable.

The standard deduction is pretty good. I think the only way I could realistically do better would be to buy a house, so I could deduct the mortgage interest. But I don't want to that.

I'm not looking forward to doing my taxes in the years to come. I'll probably pay someone I trust to do it if I can afford it.

Here's to overprotective parents: They at least have some use. :P

Then again...they've been using me to save them a lot of money over the years, so I'm thinking they owe me on this one.

My son moved away--so this year we have no deduction for him...We are going to be paying through the nose!

I want a job as a US Senator--apparently the only time THEY have to pay taxes is when they get nominated for a Cabinet position.
