I'm now extremely paranoid about being audited because I would just ask other Americans how they did their taxes rather than asking an accountant, which I somehow don't think the IRS will accept as an excuse if we were way off the mark. (At least we didn't have to reconcile our U.S. and Swiss taxes since we didn't owe the latter...)Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076964401233678093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341696.post-20687135380460690232008-03-01T13:21:00.000-05:002008-03-01T13:21:00.000-05:00i couldn't agree more about the "online planner"--...i couldn't agree more about the "online planner"--what are these people getting paid for? i didn't realize that i could have them do all the work for me by going to their office--i'm definitely doing that next year, i spent almost an entire afternoon filling out that stupid planner... i could have been skiing!Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138461783555409794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341696.post-45243191109989397342008-02-28T06:42:00.000-05:002008-02-28T06:42:00.000-05:00My favorite part of the online planner is how they...My favorite part of the online planner is how they want you to tell them exactly what you were doing and where you were doing it for every single day in the calendar year.
