My husband does them using a popular tax preparation software package. Our situation is generally pretty simple.

I've been doing my own taxes since my first job at 16. Mom taught me how and I've done them every year since. Using a computer has made the task so much easier and faster.

My mother taught me how to fill out a 1040 as a child. After that I started doing them for her. She hated math. On occasion, she has an expert do it for her. I use to do myself, using a 1040EZ, now I use a tax website.

My husband used to do them, but when our tax returns and investment portfolio got more complicated, we decided to let a CPA do it. The additional 87,000 IRS agents that the Biden administration has hired will increase the odds of an audit, so a CPA will be well worth the money it costs.

I don't need the stress. It is well worth the cost to have my accountant do them. He is so nice and knowledgeable.

Also, when I was a child, my father used to do our taxes. I am one of 4 children so he had to list 6 people and all of our medical, dental ect. He would take a whole weekend and the tension in the house was really bad. I guess that has caused tax PTSD in my head, LOL!

They have gotten too complicated. I used to do our taxes using H&R Block software. Each of the last 6 years there are more and more changes to the tax code. We've even had to amend our taxes because of the "updates" that only show up in April.

I used to always do it myself. But, after getting married, having a child, having investments, etc., we decided to have someone do them for us who knows all the ways to increase the refund.

I vote for my favorite actors and awards also give me an idea of what I want to watch. Other than that winners don't matter to me.

Haven't watched any of them in decades. Who wants to see some very rich celebrities pat each other on the back and tell us all their political views?

Award shows are nothing more than self promotion of themselves. And act like self advertising. Like advertising, the less advertising the less popularity.

The award shows once mattered. Since they have become so much more than a few once or twice a year but rather at least a 100, all with varying degrees of actual criteria beyond marketing campaigns and now the over-compensating “inclusive,” nature of certain categories going out of their way

The only awards shows that I ever watch are the CMAs in Nashville. The rest, which originate in California, aren't worth the powder to blow them up.

It'll cost more tax dollars to fix or rebuild and the ground below it, is collapsing. Would we even want our guards to work there? Trump needs to focus on priorities like: Vets, health, kids, elderly, & everyone else. Stop sending people away (unconstitutionally)who didn't do anything wrong.

It is not collapsing, it is solid rock. Quit telling false stories.
