Honesty and Promptness Are Required

Uncle Sam demands you file your taxes timely, no excuses accepted...he will impose a fine; don't think of committing the perfect crime... court appearance and jail time await the sly! As anyone can see, honesty and promptness are required... and to save money, you may choose to file your own taxes, but be aware of the fine print leading to consequences; is TurboTax the answer? Don't trust it, you may be fined! Ask for an extension? Isn't it quite costly? Can you pay on time to avoid the extra fee? Now, don't make plans to buy an expensive plasma tv, you willl have a better chance at winning the Lottery! Heed my advice and do everything legally and expeditiously, I have done this for forty-three years and never cheated; I slept at night, and woke up without worrying daily... reminding myself that honesty and promptness are required!

They want our tax dollars promptly even though we wait months, even years, to see road projects completed, Andrew. Congratulations on your win. The competition was very strong, so take pride in your accomplishment! Love, Carolyn
