I have a pretty complicated return, but I've efiled without trouble. They don't even ask for the supporting documentation, which made me feel kind of naked. I suppose the theory is that if they spot something suspicious, they'll make you cough the paperwork up at that point.

I am not sure about charitable receipts.
It doesn't take too long to itemize, maybe my plan will be to itemize and see if comes up to more than the standard deduction and e-file if I don't need to itemize.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I've e-filed since the first minute it became available to normal people who aren't tax preparers. You just put all the paperwork in a file in case they come and get you. (I suspect that this is also what they do if you actually send it to them.)

I just can't imagine 8 babies.
Apparently her 6 other children are all under the age of 7, too. There's something seriously messed up with this woman.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I love e-filing. I really love how easy it is with TaxCut or whatever to try the different options for things (like when I was in grad school, there were a couple of different programs I could have taken advantage of).
This is why I shouldn't have taken time off yesterday: Now I have a brazilian things to get done today, and I am in NO MOOD. I swear, I barely think it's worthwhile to take less than a week off, because you just end up with the same crap to get done in less time.

I don't know why e-filing makes me skittish, but I always use TaxCut online and then print out the forms and mail everything in.
I want to e-file because it will make me less skittish than mailing.

Because books.

I was going to say, if you're that driven to have more children, and you have the resources for a family that big, then ADOPT. There are plenty of kids out there who need homes and families.
But Barb's comment negates that, so. I got nothing. If they filed for bankruptcy, how on earth did they pay for IVF?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So... her plan was to make money by writing a book in the I-just-had-a-shitload-of-babies--oh-the-wackiness genre?
