Default WHY CONTRACTORS COST WHAT THEY DO

haha too bad I don't give a damn about what you say. You show your low
level of education by trying to attack people that don't agree with you.
This country is based on freedom, go back to your communist homeland.
It sounds like you could use a good IRS audit to put you in your place.


Too bad that your posts show your low level of education, also. Such as
your use of poor punctuation, grammar and capitalization.

I did go get my final taxes. I prepaid $7800 on January first,
anticipating that tax load. When I finally got the 32 page return, I had
overpaid nearly $3,000. My CPA also only charged me $975 for doing the
return instead of a higher anticipated cost.

I am not worried about an audit. My CPA is an ex-IRS employee, and does
everything by the book. Her bond and our professional contract insures
that she would bear the cost of any mistakes she makes.

I wish you well with your "engineer" career. You're going to need it
with your attitude. But, then, most engineers I have known have very
poor social skills, and ate lunch by themselves in a corner. So close
minded that they were social cripples.

Your comments on this country and your comments on others leads me to
believe that you are very uneducated about social studies and current
events. It also leads me to believe that you are somewhat of a racist.

You take care. And I hope you get to move out of your folks house soon.


FWIW, I get audited every 3 years whether I need it or not. I have *NEVER*
had an audit come out where I owed the government money, they always owe
me a hundred bucks or so.
You got raped by your CPA.... When I have my taxes done, I show up with a
folder with my 1099s, W-2s, and a floppy disk. I pay around $100 to get
mine done.
Too bad your salary is so low... we can't help it if you don't get paid
enough.
*most* of us that are owners/techs get 3-5 credit hours of continuing
education every year. If your tech is not getting this additional training
and education, then you might look for one that IS getting it.


My return was 32 pages long, with special pages for interest income,
dividend income, royalty and rental income, and many for deductions.

My salary is purposely low because I get other things instead that I would
normally have to pay for with after tax dollars. Like fuel, meals, a new
truck, travel, "safety equipment", and other things that are deductible. My
salary is also low because I am 58 and fully retired. I enjoy a good
income, although it does not show on paper.

I believe $975 to my ex-IRS agent CPA to have me pay $4,800 taxes on $180k
gross was worth it.
