I sent off my tax return gleefully, salivating over the credit-enhanced refund I had figured out were headed our way.
It may be the last time I do my own taxes, considering I made a huge error.
Thankfully it was an error in our favor.
So we got more back than we’d expected.
Like 73% more than we’d expected.
In the letter notifying us of the change to our return, under the heading “What You Should Do If You Agree With The Change,” the IRS stated…well, I don’t really know what it says, since I am not in a disagreeing spirit at the moment.
I love the IRS!

Oh, my, you love that big, huge, lumbering, monumentally flawed system whereby one must pay an accountant to spend hours poring over these receipts and those expenses and all sorts of intricate definitions in order to take a stab at what is required of you?!

Me, too. Line 63 "making work pay" the electronic "taxman" didn't point out to me, but the IRS caught it. Instead of $140 returned, I got $940. Isn't that amazing?
