All this reminds me of why I have an accountant who specializes in tax laws to do my tax returns. I just keep every damn receipt and bank/IRA/etc statement, give them to her, and she computes, files, and answers any questions from the effin' size 2 hats at the IRS (if necessary). It hasn't happened yet and, to me, she's worth every penny of the $400 I pay her annually and has led me to believe that those who choose the 1040EZ and do it themselves may be asking to be audited in the hopes that they will/can not argue their own cases.

OBTW - I cannot wait to see how the IRS is going to monitor our proposed national healthcare programs - NOT!

And so it goes...
