I’ve thought stuff like that too, and it happens. I remember filling out some kind of questionnaire a few years ago and when I pressed send it simply would not send. All that time wasted! I’d do it in person rather than online too.
I filed my taxes at the AARP Tax Clinic held in the SW Library in DC. I was able to get a slot because a friend at my church worked at the IRS until she retired. And she volunteers at the clinic. I had no trouble filing my taxes this year, and I got a nice refund from DC (I did have to pay two hundred plus to Uncle Sam though). And It’s cheaper than buying Turbo Tax.
Got that right. Even if you don’t pay to file electronically, you get on a list for the tax-preparation company that does it.
I file on paper. Sometimes I have to redo everything several times during preparation and I make notes on the old versions. I’m in no hurry for my refund.
When the IRS handles the electronic file directly, then I will consider it.
I have been filing electronically now for over 30 years. I use a desktop version of the software and back up frequently so even if my hard drive crashes I would only lose a few hours work. And yes, I prepare for things to go wrong. Been developing software for decades and know that things WILL go wrong. Murphy reigns supreme.
A beautiful sunny day today. Just about all the snow we got in the storm this week has melted. I hope your day is sunny too.
Slightly dated regarding the computer Internet connections — they are FAR more reliable than when this comic came out. That said, computer stuff in general is too glitchy to be 100% reliable.
Technology really helps when I do my taxes, though I always have to be ready for … well, I’d rather not think about it. Better to focus on the benefits, right?

I have better luck online than trying to print and mail. Too much can go wrong and you can’t track it.
