Taxes are coming up and the guy I normally use to do my taxes charges $125. He's a family friend and used to file me and my ex-wife's taxes jointly at about $150-175 if I recall correctly.

For those of you in the US, who do you use for your taxes and what do you typically pay? H&R Block? I'm starting to think that $125 is kinda steep. Back when I was married there were a ton of deductions that we qualified for but now that i'm filing as single not so much.

For a reliable person who gets it right 125 is very fair. IMO

I’ve never heard any good feedback from HR block users

Re: U.S. taxes, I have a relatively simple situation (itemized deductions but that's about it) and have used TurboTax the last 10 years or so. Apparently they have a new option to have a live CPA review things before submission. I think my fees are only about $80 including e-File federal and state.

In Muskat airport where I’ve just handed over £24 for two pints of Stella [emoji38]
At least prices will drop when we get to India

That’s outrageous. You can buy shares in the damn company for less!

Oh no! What happened to the XL?  

[Seul]

Well done mate!..

[gaseousclay]

this joke is old but it still makes me laugh:

Lawyer: so it says here that you want to divorce Minnie because she was… extremely silly?

Mickey: no, I said she was fucking goofy

@Seul:

Well done mate!..

Appreciate that Seul. This is a bit if a big thing for me.

[Seul]

I know - you've just chosen to be killed by your wife… Romantic...

Well your testicles serve no purpose anymore so I guess it's no big deal if your wife removes them right?

That is an exceedingly low bar.

Thank you gentlemen. Although my testicles are still of great sentimental (if not practical) value to me, they may have been worth the trade off for this bit of kit… as it is Hot Ingrid is more or less onboard.

That is to say she thinks the vest is «OK» and doesn’t mind me having it. We are also practicing a «Don’t ask/Don’t tell» policy on pricing at the moment, which helps...
