America's laws should
reflect Christ's teachings. (Except for
forgiveness, charity, and
selling everything you have and
giving to the poor. F—k that
commie s—t.)

Well, I got my tax packet together and sent it off to The Angel. He charges $450 to do my taxes, but that has been paid every year by Piper, who has committed to pay this year, too, since I was his client through 2015. But for the 2016 taxes, I'm going to have to either find my own accountant locally, or pay The Angel myself.
Is $450 reasonable? I don't know where to start to find someone else. The agency that handles my house insurance advertises that they do taxes, too, but somehow I just don't find them .... credible? I'm half tempted to wait until after April 15th and give them the packet as a test and see what they do with it.
By law, companies are supposed to mail the 1099s by January 31, but I was getting documents all the way through February and into the second week of March. I have some Freeport-McMoran stock, and I never got the dividend statement from them at all. Luckily I was able to reconstruct the total from my deposit record in my checkbook register. This happens every year - there's always one or two things missing.
-------------------------------
It has been so warm here the past two weeks or so that I haven't needed so much as a sweater when I went out, so I put all my warm coats and jackets away. Today it's in the low to mid 30s, and we have snow flurries.
Sigh. So much for spring.

This was the first year in a long time I had someone else do my taxes. There's a new work wrinkle that requires me to file in every state, so I'm not doing in it. A work friend recommended a tax person who was 150 - 250. The tax woman quoted me 250 - 350. I was appalled. Then she checked my old taxes and found three grand worth of refunds as long as I amended my old returns. I am very happy to plunk down 350, believe me.
