sub-forms and tables to fill out my 1040, I gave up and bought a computer program.


Nothing is more aggravating than spending an hour downloading a form (this was in the dial-up days), downloading the instructions, tracking down the information to complete the form, filling out the form, getting to the last line and then finding out that my gross income is too high to qualify me for the tax break involved!

5. That's why there's so many of them.
They're fucking.

Obviously, too, because they are fucking tax forms that they are so complex and endless in number.

Just be happy they don't use fucking imaginary numbers too :7
