You know that is a metaphor. I file, or I should say my preparer files mine electronically. But I will certainly save on my cost for the return next year. I will just use the standard married 24k or so deduction and no pile of receipts, a couple of W2s and 1090s. the preparer charges by the hour so I will not even sit there and be charged $150.00/hr to tell her how my vacation last sept was. Just drop of income statements, tell her to use the standard deduction, call me when ready so I can come in and sign, have a nice day.I hope she raises her fee to 250.00 per hour still won't cost me much.
