364 days til your next return is due

Tax FormsIf it makes you feel better, now that you're probably done with tax season, the IRS has a long, long way to go.

I have no idea how the Internal Revenue Service is going to process an extra 20 to 25 million tax returns this season. Those would be the ones filed by people who normally aren’t required to file because their income is too low or perhaps only from Social Security benefits. Those folks needed to file this year because that’s the only way they can get a rebate check.

And were they confused. I heard from so many who didn't have forms, didn't know how to fill them out, couldn't decide what income qualified and what didn't. I'm glad I don't have to decipher those returns.

The IRS can have at it. To be s don't know how well they did with the whole task.

As for the IRS, I like the agency. I think its reputation is much lower than it should be. But this task ahead, it's huge.

Watch for your rebate check, starting May 2.

Errors abound on both sides. This year we were hit with an unexpected $2000 bill owed. Turns out someone in data entry set my wife up with 10 dependents instead of 1. Wonderful !
