Oh, what a happy time of the year

Yes, time to wrestle with income taxes.  I bought a more expensive tax software program than usual and it was a big mistake.  Figuring our taxes this year should have been a piece of cake; we had no new source of income and no new deduction.  It should have been just  a matter of typing in the new numbers.  It didn't work that way.  The new software did not pick up the information from the previous year. It should have been possible to start from scratch, but the software required us to complete the form for 2010 before we could insert the data for 2011.

Although we have put in  the current figures as called for, it is not correct.  Whether we should acquire another and simpler tax software is yet to be determined.  I know it is driving me crazy.
