In which our heroine valiantly attempts to file her tax returns...

[blinker]

Just about the only software I buy at a store these days is tax software. This year, having read some negative stuff about TurboTax's new licensing setup, I decided to try the cheaper TaxCut program from H&R Block. Never again. It decided that my 2002 IRA contributions would be non-deductible because I had an employer-sponsored retirement plan in 2001 and it had imported that data from last year's TurboTax. D'oh! And there was nothing I could do to change its mind. I wound up deleting the whole file after four or five attempts to fix it. I'll start over next weekend, when I've tracked down the rest of the relevant forms. Every year it feels like I'm forgetting something. My goal for 2003 is to have enough job stability that I only get one W-2 form.

heh. everything i make under $80K is not taxable. and i only have to fill out two forms. but then of course the one that actually shows that i don't owe anything, the form for us citizens abroad, only has space to provide one employer's name, and i worked for two, and i'm confused. argh.
