But I’m getting there - I have now officially put in more over time this week, than regular time. I passed 80 hours about an hour ago. I’ll be putting in at least another 20 this weekend.
When this is over, I have some choice words for The IRS, Congress and all the rest of the Treasury officials that set assinine, paper and time wasting, tree killing disclosure requirements for so-called tax shelters.
I just finished an 8,459 page partnership tax return with 25 partners. Of those 8,459 pages only 602 relate to the actual tax return. The rest of the return is information the IRS requires to be filed. No impact on taxable income, just a document dump for the IRS. To make matters worse, with these type of disclosures, e-filing is practically impossible. It’s going to take 2 boxes and over $150 to mail the tax return to the IRS.
And lefties want the government to manage our health care? I shudder. I really do.

previously provided(over a near lifetome of filing returns) and then also must provide documentation out
of the whazoo for every nickel and dime earned,spent or
contributed to charitable organisations! what happened to
the paperwork reduction act?!

Farrah Says: October 17th, 2006 at 10:28 amI’m not so sure a VAT would be any less cumbersome. The company I work for is in Real Estate - assessing VAT in projects would be a huge headache.
