Why are taxes so ridiculously difficult?
Just a very short rant here, but I can't help myself. Just finished my taxes and it came to 136 printed pages! That is absolutely NO exaggeration. That's a book. Uncle Sam is requiring his citizens to write a book for him every year instead of doing something productive. The last few days I've been stumped, wondering, why is it that a citizen in good standing, with years of military service in support of the country, with a master's level education, cannot even figure out with any certainty HOW TO OBEY THE LAW? It's not that I'm trying to find ways around the law; I can't even figure out what the law wants me to do!!! Used 2 accountants and TurboTax and go 3 entirely different answers.
Something's wrong.
