I have an accounting degree. I used to volunteer with the IRS's "VITA" program, preparing tax returns for the elderly and low income families (and if you think low income = 1040EZ, think again. Those were some of the most complicated Individual returns I've ever seen). Our returns are a piece of cake; W-2 income, interest income, mortgage interest deduction and a couple of other odds and ends, and poof, almost instant tax return. But do I get it out of the way early so I can have my money to spend? HA! I suck.
