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.
