Hmmmph. Have you ever finished your tax return, scanned the whole thing before putting it in the envelope and noticed OMG! I left off a major number. The one, of course that requires re-doing all the forms, because it makes all the numbers wrong. That was my day.
I always put off mailing it in until the last minute, unwilling to allow the government more time than necessary to play with my return, so it’s probably only what I deserve. I hope your day was better than mine.
There is really no use in the tax forms being so complicated. Give me a flat tax please, to send in on a postcard. And a much smaller government that doesn’t need so much support from beleaguered citizens.

I would feel bad for you, but I used to work as a tax Instruction Complicator for the IRS.
I also filed a month and a half ago.
