Income Tax Filing Time Again
Income Tax Filing Time Again
By Elton Camp
It’s again time, Uncle Sam to pay
By April fifteenth is the filing day
End of January I meant to do it
I actually thought I’d hop to it
But it’s an onerous task I hate
So I continued to procrastinate
I’ll get on it next week, for sure
For tax anxiety, that’s the cure
Sam doesn’t send forms anymore
Having to print them I truly abhor
Then obtuse instructions to obey
Surely there’s a simple way to say
But it’s go from this line to that
Written by some government rat
Enter the amount from line sixteen
And be sure to guess what we mean
It was then that TurboTax I found
And it’s the best invention around
It led me through by the hand
With words I could understand
With this program so spiffy,
I finished filing in just a jiffy
With a big refund coming my way
Some of my debts I now can pay
Other programs likely do as well
But, of them, I have naught to tell
