When Do I Get Virtual Unreality?

I got in on this late, and my comments are probably waayyy behind the conversation curve here, but...

I've used TurboTax for the past five years now, and have done pretty damn well so far. It reduces my need to think substantially, and I haven't been audited yet. I spend about $60.00 or so for the main program and two states after rebates, and it takes me about three hours to do everything from first sit-down with the receipts to licking the envelope closed or clicking the 'E-File" button.

Am I paying too much tax? Not really, but I have a mortgage and three kids to deduct, plus I over-withhold (having had some tax due issues that would scare the pants off of an IRS agent in the past).

All things being equal, I'm not nearly as unhappy about my income tax rates as I am about the fact that every damn dime you make is taxed about forty-seven different times. Jeez, they even make you declare tax refunds as income. What the hell is that about? Wasn't it taxed the first goddamn time?
