No offense intended. <br /><br />Yes, I was audited one time, I turned my hyperactive 3 year old son loose in their office, they soon got rid of me! I hope they don't audit me again, as he is now a hyperactive 41 year old. I don't think it would work now!<br /><br />TaxSlayer wanted me to pay, too, but I did find a free one through the IRS site, and had already filed. <br />Thank you for your comment, and I can see that your eyes are better. <br />Thank The Lord.<br />Happy Shopping for your new home,<br />Penny, TXLakeConroePenny,TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260039376684295639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550763482629643851.post-61000510700876232482010-04-15T13:15:25.279-05:002010-04-15T13:15:25.279-05:00There is a web site you can access from the IRS...There is a web site you can access from the IRS's site that lists free tax preparation servvices. There is an income limit, but being retired I fall well under the limit. For those who earn more, there is another site that is not affiliated with the IRS' list that will prepare your returns for free. My daughter did my taxes using TaxSlayer and it was totally free, plus they ask lots of questions to determine if you are eligible for tax breaks you aren't even aware of.<br /><br />It is so easy to trash the IRS, but they don't make the tax laws - Congress does. In my younger days I worked for the IRS in their Central Regional Office, and I honestly think the majority of employees are honest, hard working, patriotic, and eager to to the best job. They are also bound by the most rules for personal job performance and personal conduct. Because no one likes to hand over their money, they tend to denigrate the agency and employees who are charged with the collection of it. Please, let's give credit, and blame, where it is due. Start with Congress if you want to blame, and then remember that we elect those officials.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.com
