You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

sara, mine is a little early based on the estimated date (4/12) the IRS site gave me when I checked on it.

I didn't do mine electronically ( for all I work with computers, I don't really trust them AT ALL. Still have a niggling paranoia when I buy ticket online that it is a myth) and haven't been to the IRS site since...well a long time.

What's really amusing about my distrust is that I screw up my state return about every other year.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Most of my income this year was in Switzerland.

My IRS auditor is still looking shit up.

Were you there, Gus, for more than 50 weeks?

I ask because a friend worked over seas and said he always had to pay if he spent more than 2 weeks in the US.

Not 50 weeks. I thought six months was a magic number. That one, I have.

I think 50 weeks was for him to not pay any US taxes. That was two or three years ago though.

So, grain-o-salt me.

My Wisconsin accountant bee-yotch-slapped the IRS last year. I figure that this year they are out for sweet vengence.

It is possible I am assigning too many human motivations to the IRS.

Monkey-ing with IRS minds is becoming a pasttime for me.

There are probably safer pastimes.

I paid taxes in the US on some income, and paid taxes in CH on more. If I come up completely broke, but having given an IRS agent a headache, I win.
