Ah, January. It’s a wonderful month, isn’t it? The start of the new year is always so carefree and fun, when you can throw caution to the wind and your worries simply melt away. So have you started thinking about tax season yet? What, you forgot about tax season? That W2 is on its way, my friend. And no, it doesn’t care that you don’t have any accounting experience. Nope, just because you haven’t the faintest clue how to properly file a tax return doesn’t mean that you’re exempt. No sir, if you don’t file a return, the IRS will find you. And I don’t think I have to tell you that that’s not something you’d like. Let’s put it this way: if the IRS were a killing machine, it would be The Terminator.
Alright, calm down. I can’t believe you think I would lead you astray in your time of need. Listen, you can go right back to being carefree and whimsical, just as long as you use Turbo Tax to file your taxes. Now, you could just go with the Basic package, which will run you about $29.95, and while that’s all fine and dandy, you just don’t get as much stuff as you could get for $59.95 with the Deluxe. I know, you’re wondering why you would pay that much just for a little help on your taxes. With the Deluxe package, you get help with both your Federal and State returns (State not included in Basic package). Turbo Tax will help you figure out how to maximize those charitable donations you make throughout the year. It also tailors the service to fit your needs by asking you simple questions to make filling out those seemingly endless forms faster. Speaking of faster, how about importing your tax information instead of painstakingly retyping it? And if you should have a question while doing your return, you can email, call, or live chat with someone from Turbo Tax. I mean, seriously, they really couldn’t make this any easier.
Now, if for some reason Turbo Tax makes a mistake and The Terminator comes after you with penalty fees, Turbo Tax will pay the penalties and/or interest incurred. How cool is that? I mean, how often does someone actually own up their mistake and be all like, “Oh, that was totally my fault and here’s that money that I owe you.” Just think of it like this: The Terminator is coming after you, he’s trying to trip you up and destroy your world. But look, there’s John Connor (aka Turbo Tax) and he’s gonna protect you from The Terminator, even if it means putting himself on the line.
Come with me if you want to live.
