1. It is to make it easier for them...
With the tight budget from the Iraq war, anything they can do to cut down costs helps them out. Sadly, none of us are likely motivated to pay these taxes...

by the United States government with your money in your name.

Money for Nothing
By Philip Giraldi, American Conservative 24/10/05

... "There was also considerable money "off the books," including as much as $4 billion from illegal oil exports." ...

... "the country was awash in unaccountable money. British sources report that the CPA contracts that were not handed out to cronies were sold to the highest bidder, with bribes as high as $300,000" ...

... "The contracts were especially attractive because no work or results were necessarily expected in return." ...

... "A $500 million power-plant contract was reportedly awarded to a bidder based on a proposal one page long. After a joint commission rejected the proposal, its members were replaced by the minister, and approval was duly obtained. But no plant has been built." ...

... "Paul Bremer, meanwhile, had a slush fund in cash of more than $600 million in his office for which there was no paperwork. One U.S. contractor received $2 million in a duffel bag." ...

The alarm bell is ringing inside the National Bank for 30 months.

Where in the world are the police officers sleeping?? :boring:

8. Filing your return online is great if you have a refund coming
Edited on Tue Nov-15-05 04:33 PM by slackmaster
I've had my accountant file online for three years now. You get your refund MUCH faster, and it can be deposited directly in your checking account.

OTOH if you OWE them money, send a check with your return by snail-mail.
