One more day 'till tax deadline is here.

Well folks,

Here it is, April 14, 2009 just one day before this years tax deadline. I am sitting at work waiting for customers to come streaming in to have their taxes done. Ha, Ha, there is nobody breaking down the doors to have their taxes done.

I can remember in years gone by, when the last week was such a big rush of people that we couldn't wait on the customers fast enough. I remember spending 14 to 16 hours a day doing taxes. When I was doing that I was also working a full time job. Talk about being tired after the end of the tax season. I could sleep 24 hours around the clock.

This season and last season have really been slow. I attribute this to all of the off the shelf software, such as TurboTax, and Tax Facts, please free assistance from the IRS and from AARP senior tax assistance which is also free. Add to that the fact that Turbotax offers people the opportunity to do their federal taxes for free on line and then the state for about $15.00, it certainly takes away our business.

On another note my wife who is bedridden with a broken leg has to be left alone for several hours while I am at work, and I really don't like leaving her alone. It has been 4 weeks since her accident and she is definitely improving slowly.

At the moment I am a little bored.

yours truly
