I also pay a C.P.A. she checks in with me in June so I can make adjustments. I usually pay in $100.00 to the Feds and get $500.00 back from the state. One year I payed the Feds $1.00 I would rather have my money throughout the year than struggle to yank it out of Some P.O.S. hands.

Believe 1/2 of what you see and nothing of what you hear.
