In response to owe tax posted by halochie:

I strongly dislike dealing with the IRS too , halochie . Usually when I'm done with my TurboTax , I run a comparison of my return against other returns in my bracket and I usually pay more which is fine with me . Figure if the IRS audits me I'll probably come out on top if I usually pay more than most tax payers in my tax bracket . But then I don't have a lot of the writeoffs like mortgage interest , etc , that most tax payers have .

And you're very correct that a lot of 1099 paywork that we usually received now goes straight to the IRS and we don't even have to send a lot of our 1099s in with our returns anymore . Years ago , my returns always had a bundle of 1099s stapled to it . Now , there are very few additional items stapled to our returns cause the IRS has already gotten it and the IRS doesn't need another copy .

I'm still part of the old foggy crowd that insists on paper instead of email statements . I don't necessarily save all my hard copy statements , but I only weed them out at the end of the calendar year to keep just what's important . Rest now goes to the nice little shreader I bought the wife when she dragged our our taxes to begin in January of this year . She loves that shreader like she enjoys our weed eaters we have here in Hawaii and Alaska . .
