Do you look forward to tax season or do you hate it?

Do you normally get nice funds or do you end up owing the government? I used to look forward to it but not as much now and usually end up break even.

Our tax system has gotten way too complicated and out of control. Have you ever heard about the Fairtax? www.fairtax.org Make April 15 just another day!

There is also a very good book that explains what the pending legilation would really mean: http://www.amazon.com/Fair-Tax-Book-Saying-Goodbye/dp/0060875496/sr=1-1/qid=1163909040/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-6285552-0431215?ie=UTF8&s=books I hope you like it!

I too like and hate it. I don't like having to get everything together and trapsing down to the tax office only to have to sit and wait forever. Then once you do get in for your appointment, it takes forever to get it all done. We file long form, so it takes a little bit to do it all. But, I do love getting money back. We have always gotten a nice chunk back.

The best part is always getting money back for all the hard work that has to be put into doing the taxes.

It is a pain to file the return but when we get money back that is always a good thing. Never like having to pay anything.

I love tax season lol. Good thing I do because taxes are my life and I make a living from filing tax returns for others. My tax season never ends as there are different deadlines for individuals and companies and in between there are always some people who "forgot" to file their taxes before the deadline. I normally get quite a lot back after I file my own tax return because in Iceland we get what is called "interest reduction" from interest we pay on our mortgages. For the average family in Iceland that owes more on their property than they own, they get back around $4.000. Child benefits are also calculated after filing the tax return and is income related. People with low income and many children get substantial amounts paid either monthly or 4 times a year.

I guess anyone that does tax returns for a living would love tax season. :-) Continued success to you and everyone else that does taxes.

I am a tax preparer, so I am swamped during that time, but it means I am able to make some money so that is a great thing.
