I just spent the last day and a half in tax hell. I hate it. We needed to get an idea where we stood on our tax situation for this year and to do that I had to do a "mock" tax filing. You really can't do that with old tax software as the rules of the game change every year and you just land up making a "wild ass guess" so you get some kind of number. Because Steve stayed with one company all year and he did some consulting as well, our tax situation was wildly different than it was in 2007. Throw in stock sales, purchases and a wedding to really make things crazy. We bought the Turbo Tax 2008 download but it wouldn't. Must be some kind of time thing that doesn't allow it to download till the first of the year or they are doing upgrades as we speak. The government really needs to go to a flat tax, it would really be much simpler on us tax preparers...
