I go with H&R Block for taxes, but I don't know what I got for this last year. The bills were not totaled by the advisor. I have the actual bills. I don't know exactly what tax to calculate. It may not be higher than $60 and then again it might be. I WANT TO KNOW! I definately will be getting that form this time. Sounds good to me!!!

Not only that but it's probably a sure fire way to get your return flagged: http://www.myinvestmentblog.com/claim-your-tax-freebie-year The IRS estimates it will take nearly 14 hours to complete the paperwork and claim the full refund amount.

But my phone company (BellSouth) charges $3.50 per copy for old records and they only publish the most recent three months online. So without knowing what "adequate records to support your claim" involves, it makes things iffy. If the IRS needs more than, say, 10 phone records, I'd be costing myself money by collecting the records. If only I could go back to my three-year-ago self and say "No, really, save all of those phone bills."

I'm glad I procrastinated in sending in my taxes this year. An additional $30 will double my refund. Sweet! I’m glad I procrastinated in sending in my taxes this year.
