TheBrasse Comic: Taxing Times

[Brasse]

<p>Ok, so this comic is only marginally related to EQII - I think I mention a raid this evening in the commentary. Oh, and there are Specters in EQII!</p><p>But I want to share my pain with all of you and let you know that you are not the only ones who didn't do your taxes on time.</p><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.thebrasse.com/game-comics/171" target="_blank">Taxing Times</a></p><p>Time to go stick my head in the sand some more now.</p><p>;-)#</p>

heh.. quite apro pos, Brasse! I filed in February and don't raid very often so it doesn't apply to me. But, that doesn't make it any less entertaining since I often thrive on the agony and humiliation of others. XD

I'm so proud * sniffles and wipes away a tear *</span></p>

You can take the full or a portion of the cost of Tax Preparation OFF (deduct as an expense) depending on your situation.  (it's just another business expense though on certain forms it's actually a seperate entry).  If you do go to a professional, they will usually point that out as your "benefit" of using them.   This, of course, doesn't apply to Wren's Mother-in-law, unless she happens to be a Tax professional and is actually charging Wren to do her taxes. </p><p>*laughs* I'm with Spiderbite.  I do my taxes, pretty much the day after I get the last form needed, and just sit back and listen to all the "cries of terror" from the masses.   </p><p><img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/908627bbe5e9f6a080977db8c365caff.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /></p>

<p>Sadly, it DOES always sneak up on ya, too.  This lil' gnome just got his done last weekend.  </p><p><i>Whew, under the wire.</i></p><p><i>~</i>Gnobrin!</p>

I did mine back in January, didn't like the way they looked so I ignored them until this last weekend.  Worked out well for me because I managed to scrounge up a couple more deductions.
