My Tax Filed

This BBC Article about tax filing in US is pretty much true. I have been in US since 2002 and every year during this time, filing taxes is a thing of great concern. Furthermore i am afraid of the fact that Al Capone was sent to Alcatraz for Tax evasion crime. So just to make sure i don't land into any problem with Uncle Sam i have been very careful. Many people go to HR block and other tax professionals. But since i am the only bread earner and haven't inherited a fortune from a very rich uncle, i think it will be just a waste of money if i go and pay 100-200 dollars for something which i can do on my own. But mind you it consumes easily 6-7 hours of time even if i use Tax software like Turbo tax. Past few years turbo tax was kind enough to let me file for free. But this time they charged me about 15 dollars. Well last night i filed taxes and today morning i got the email from turbo tax that return has been accepted by IRS. What a relief..
