Tax Time!

Hopefully you've got your taxes done by now, though I guess if you need the weekend to finish it's still good...

I've been AWOL a bit the last few days while I finish up mine, and haven't had time to blog or read anyone's blogs. But you might enjoy this post from last year- check out how simple the 1040 was back in 1939: http://practiceintime.blogspot.com/2010/04/did-you-get-your-taxes-done-in-time.html

Even my local taxes are more complicated than that!

Did you get your taxes done in time?

Here at the PIT, we strive to be unique- I bet you could search blogger all day and not find this: a 1040 from 1939. Yep, this is the whole form. One page, front and back. No Schedule D or K or UE, or even a W-2. Heck there isn't even a Social Security # on it.

Having just spent a solid week on preparing my federal, state and local returns, the simplicity of this form is breathtaking. The good old days indeed!
