I want to "rant" again. Can I rant again?..... How 'bout clients that come to pick up their return, and they "forgot" their money; "forgot" their card; "forgot" their checkbook. Okay - when you went to K-mart to buy stuff, did you forget your money there? And when you drove thru McD's did you tell them you forgot your money? Did they give you the milkshake anyway? How 'bout when you filled the tank. Did Sunoco say ' Hey - that's okay. You can take all you want and stop back some other time to pay'? No - you paid to take their product. So pay to take mine! there. I feel better. thanks.

I am a clutterer, too. Somehow my desk can't stand being cleared. It just attracts paper and holds with unseen forces. Of course, part of the desk is a cushion for whichever cat arrives first. Both also like to lay on any paper so I have to leave some around for that. But really, if it's on my desk I can find it. Might take a while but at least I know it's there - somewhere. Drives my husband a bit nuts but it's good to know that there are others like me.

I cannot even get to the other side of my office where I also have a paper cutter, somewhere, under something. I am starting to tell my clients that I have organized clutter. I am becoming surrounded by piles. If the IRS lets me stay in business, I may have to put an extension on this room before next year.

Kea hit it on the head. If the challenge was to get the biggest refund (regardless of accuracy) they should have included some preparers that the IRS busted for filing false returns. What they should have done is brought in the IRS to audit all three returns when they were done and see who really produced the best results. Tom Lodi, CA
