Top 20 most used forms by your practice

No, actually, in those days of paper filing and doing taxes by hand with only a ten-key, and carbon paper for the copies, computing the credit was easy, but including it and all the extra pages would have meant higher costs to me, and in those days, I was still teaching accounting, and doing taxes on the side, and my profit margin was almost nil. So I probably would have, if it had saved him $10, but for just $2 for him, I was not willing to do the form.

Heck, I only charged him $10 for the return in the first place, Atticus. My fees did not get high until I grew my business, and was making a living from it.

My dad did taxes for all our relatives for "free" (actually, we went over for Sunday dinner, pigged out, and then my dad and whichever uncle went off with papers). I remember one time when he forgot the carbon paper, and I got called in to make my uncle's copy by hand. I had _no_ idea what I was doing, but I remember being proud that my printing was good enough and that I was careful enough to be entrusted the job. Must've been all of about 9 years old.

Thanks, KC -- I hadn't remembered that in years.
