    It’s incredibly stressful. I get about 3-4 months to do them, depending on how quickly I get all the necessary forms. If I don’t pay in time the IRS fines me 25% of my taxes as a late payment.

    Figure I typically put in about 40 hours per year to do my taxes, AND I HAVE TAX SOFTWARE!

      Wow, your situation must be complicated. With TurboTax or FreeTax it doesn’t take me more than a couple hours - and I’ve never used the short form.
