The people at work think I'm mad or something. I couldn't find another contractor (there are many) in the building who does his or her taxes on his or her own. It's a matter of principle really. I find it unconstitutional that a person who can read, write, and use a calculator should not be able to do his or her own taxes. And here we are thinking our country is so great, but the rest of the world is snickering at how complicated our taxes are. So complicated that not only does the average Joe become confused, but the college and university trained professionals think that the only option is to go to an accountant or at least get software to do it for you.
Pen and paper, that's what I've always used. The Scottish way I suppose. And the last two years, I've actually used a calculator as well. Microsoft calculator since I can't seem to ever stop misplacing mine. All this has made me a bit of a tax guru at work, but unfortunately, it also means that I'll probably be audited this year. But whatever - that will be a learning experience as well which will make me more of an expert! Ask me again later and I will probably not be so positive about it.
Anyway, that's about it for 2006 - it only took about three weeks humming and hawing about it to get done - and with three days to spare!
