$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / You first have to decide whether to use \ | the short or the long form. The short | | form is what the Internal Revenue | | Service calls "simplified", which means | | it is designed for people who need the | | help of a Sears tax-preparation expert | | to distinguish between their first and | | last names. Here's the complete text: | | | | "(1) How much did you make? (AMOUNT) | | (2) How much did we here at the | | government take out? (AMOUNT) (3) Hey! | | Sounds like we took too much! So we're | | going to | | | | send an official government check for | | (ONE-FIFTEENTH OF | | | | THE AMOUNT WE TOOK) directly to the | | (YOUR LAST NAME) | | | | household at (YOUR ADDRESS), for you to | | spend in any way | | | | you please! Which just goes to show | | you, (YOUR FIRST | | | | NAME), that it pays to file the short | | form!" | | | | The IRS wants you to use this form | | because it gets to keep most of your | | money. So unless you have pond silt for | | brains, you want the long form. | | | \ -- Dave Barry, "Sweating Out Taxes" / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
