Like I said. I am not trying to be mean but if you are not itemizing you probably don't make enough money for it to really matter all that much.
How much money do you need to make for itemizing to matter?

its not so much the amount you make as it is the amount you can deduct.
if you dont own a home or have children then itemizing wont make a bit of difference

I don't know a single person that doesn't try and pay the lowest amount legally possible. If you say otherwise you are a lair.
Eh -- there are some legal deductions that can lead to audits that are more trouble than they are worth. I am sure there are a lot of people who purposefully pay a little above the lowest amount legally possible.

Anything can lead to an audit. It's my business to know the tax laws. It's my business to know what will trigger flags. Yes I usually tell people unless it's a lot of money home in office expense usually isn't worth the trouble. There are work arounds.
People pay me good money to make sure they get every penny of theirs I can get back for them. I've not had a single person say I'll just pay whatever.

America is broken, our deficit is out of control, the answer isn't to raise taxes, it's to send your money to churches instead of the government.
So we should tax the middle class more to make up for church deductions?

By the way, after 18 years this will be my last year doing taxes professionally. I will be selling my business in the spring. I am tired of fighting the powers that be in Massachusetts.

Are you 'retiring' for the good life, changing careers or what?

I used to pay a guy to do my taxes. He fecked up big time and I ended up owing a crap ton of money.
I do my own taxes now and I don't deduct anything. Just pay whatever the amount it says based upon whatever amount I made. It's a hell of a lot easier and I don't really care about whatever amount I could "save" by jumping thru hoops and hoping I don't trip.

To be honest I am not sure. We've recently decided this. I might just take some time off. I will still do taxes in some capacity.
