Tax Fun in April

uuApril means tax time for most adult workers in the United States. Believe it or not, I actually do not mind doing my taxes. Not fun to pay them, but to actually prepare my taxes is sort of entertaining. In a whew I'm glad that's done what an accomplishment sort of way. I don't use software to do my taxes. I use the online forms on the IRS and state tax sites, I print them out, do them by hand in pencil, then I use the editable forms online to prepare and print out. Then I mail them snail mail fashion.

I know I'm an anachronism in this age of tax help software and e-file, but what can I say, I'm an old fashioned masochistic kind of guy and a bit of a control freak I suppose.I just need to know that I've done the work and have the satisfaction of being not only a self-made man, but a self-reliant one as well.
