I dunno...can't I convince Turbo Tax that it's deductible?
But now that you mention taxes, I guess I can surf our banks' web sites to get the relavent PDFs so I can get going on our taxes this weekend. W-2s were supposed to be posted to our secure portal by now so the only thing left to get is the TT software. Gee,
only 2 state returns to file this year!
I so love the TT commercial where the customer is sitting at the desk of the "tax man" who asks "Did you sell your house?"....hunt, peck, click..."Number of children?"....at which point the client takes the keyboard away!

Yeah, that'd be me!

I made the mistake of asking the H&R tax rep in WM how much to have our taxes done...worse than a used car salesman!!!!

Couldn't get a straight answer other than the "general" cost for one federal return, one state return with one W-2 and "free" efile was "around $109"!!!! And there is an extra cost for
EVERY additional piece of paper (W-2, 1099s etc)!!!!
I'm thinking "eff that noise!!!" as a coworker often says! Because our return would probably cost in excess of $400 not to mention they couldn't do it right there anyhow because our out of state return would have to be prepared at the district offices! So instead of getting the return done while we shop, we'd have to wait "up to 3 weeks" for them to do it!

No, sorry, I'll stick with TT!
