Tax Time!

We’ve finally found something else to talk about this winter besides the terrible weather.  Especially now that the Academy Awards are over, the current most popular greeting seems to be, “Have your income tax done yet?”  Even if our favorite CPA or other tax consultant takes care of the actual filing to the IRS, we’re still responsible for rounding up and sorting out tons of bills and receipts and other important papers.  And there’s always something of the utmost importance that seems to have disappeared.  We drop everything else in search of this one elusive paper, going through waste baskets, emptying drawers, turning over boxes, until after several hours we throw up our hands and temporarily give up.  Only to discover the document we’ve been frantically searching for has been right in front of us all this time, hiding there in plain sight.  Ever have this happen to you?
