Rambling, TAXACT disparaging

Well , it figures. I must have a case of the "Uncool" jitters. My last post was suppose to go up today, but alas i hit the wrong button and it posted yesterday. So much for saving my Saturday morning, but it is okay. Today my right brain is not quite as active and i am not bursting into song and dance or verse or something like that (Anybody every watch the Buffy series? Think of season 6 - "Once more with feeling"). All is okay.
You ever try to share something really deep with someone you do not trust? I do not think it can be done or else it is done so cryptically that they do not know what you are talking about.
They, wait a minute, "they" live in Chicago and do not know squat ( a prankster changed his name officially to" they" so he could be the source of all news).
.Any way, I hear often that the most intimate thing is sharing your heart (guys, you know how hard that is even with people we are otherwise intimate with).
I think i am really fortunate in that i have a number of people who are that close.
It actually gives me a song in my heart (hey wait, I said no singing) and is one of the many things that keeps me going.
Oh yes, TaxAct on line is still insisting it is my fault, so they are off my recommendation list for Taxes and Customer service, I might e mail David Prauge or Roger Grimes about this and see who has the last laugh (They are techie column writers and no small fish)!

It should have been easy...

Every Year I do David's taxes cause he just can not. Lately, I have been using TaxAct online, it is easy, $6 and quick. Today i tried it and ran into a SANFU and it was really the direct translation of the acronym.
One of his short time employers has its base headquarters in Maine. They have all the information printed multiple times as to its address.
After doing all the work, TaxAct online checks for mistakes and said the zip was wrong. I know i can make mistakes, so i re-entered the info, it was still flagged as wrong. I map quested the location and got the same zip code. They would not let me pass and file. When I went to report a problem the form to be filled out was so long, i just hit cancel and will not be using them again.

Frustration.

David was ready for a walk and I needed it. Went to the library and provided entertainment for the volunteers at the book store with my story.

By that point i was feeling better and may use the IRS site direct, but then i noticed that not all the Mill River Park Cherry trees are coming down. The ones they are removing are not that pretty and the ones they are leaving are beautiful.
This topped my morning, I think i will paint now.

Any one else surprised?

In Stamford the Sewer tax is a separate enity, and that means that they get to have prety much whatever they want. They warned us about the up coming increase, but 60 % is what mine came out to be and I do not like taxation without representation. Anyone else surprised? Or upset?

Stamford taxes

Funny everyone always talks about the budget increases when a proposed budget occurs, but they forget about the uncontrolled taxes from the WPCA. Created to remove the sewer tax from your tax bill (in the process make it so you can't claim it as a deduction any more). The tax has increased twice since its inception and there is NO PUBLIC OVERVIEW! Why was this allowed ? - it was when we made a charter change and set this up.
So when are we going to start protesting this? The BoF doesn't say a thing about this, The Taxpayer defense team is quiet - cause they like attention? And talking about sewage isn't uppermost on peoples mind?
