I’m with you, without property it seems pretty easy. Even after I got married it was completely painless. One benefit out here on the plains is that we don’t have a state income tax…all the easier come filing time (I do, however, really wish this God foresaken state had an income tax, but that’s another story entirely).
The first time one of your friends gets audited, it puts the fear of God into you. This year, I’m going back to having someone do my taxes for me. Granted, I’ve gone out of my way to make my tax situation more complicated than it needs to be, but that’s just how I roll…
I can appreciate that, but even if you do get audited, no reason to worry if you didn’t do anything wrong, right?
Like I said, it’s all good if you just want to get things processed through correctly and opt to have a pro do it; but to take that action because you’re scared of the IRS seems like a lot of misplaced anxiety.
Well, that’s the other problem. Even if you don’t think you did anything wrong, you may have. So, there’s the worry about owing back taxes, plus the general stress of having to find all your paperwork and defend your actions.

Wow… this is really small.
