They say it’s so easy and simple, but this IS the IRS, afterall…Page after page of instructions, and links leading to more instructions, and explanations of the instructions, and instructions for understanding the explanations, none of which tell me what I really want to know: How do I get my stinkin’ money back!!! 
Ahem. Just had to get that off my chest. Thank you, and good evening.

Filing on April 14? 
My filing was really easy, I only had one page to fill out because I made next to nothing and don’t own anything.
I validated the system by hiring the services of the creatures who know more tax laws than anybody… because they bought those complicated tax codes. So anyway.. if you think it is evil, complicated, vile, evil and wrong now… wait until they slip in an extra revenue service.. The HOMELAND REVENUE service.
So the prince of darkness works for the IRS?
… AND the whore of Babylon.
“If you are filing Form 1040NR or 1040R-EZ, and do not have (and are not eligible to obtain) an SSN, enter your IRS-issued individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). For information on obataining an ITIN, get Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.”
So there.
SSN, a nautical term Ship Submarine Nuclear…
s’pose could have been worse…SSBN ship submarine Balistic nuclear! 
Man, the postage on an SSN would be pretty steep…
Anyway, I telefiled. Telefiling: Not from Satan.

Hey, Tom, 1 word: turbotax. It’s only about $30, and worth every penny. They beat my return total (that I figured by hand) by like $500. And it includes an efile, which really makes turbotax more like $15. Anyhow, something to keep in mind for next year. If you do get it, you can computer your previous years taxes to, and refile them if you come out better with it. And the efile was pretty straightforward with it.
Ok, enough shameless plugging.
So…let me get this straight…the prince of darkness works for both the IRS and the whore of Babylon? Man, you know the the economy is bad when even HE has to work two jobs.
