Oh, No!! It's Tax Time!!!

I'm not going to get into a debate of why we shouldn't have a yearly tax reconciliation process, especially such a complex one; nor am I going to complain about how the working class just keeps paying, and paying....

No... I'm going to bitch about tax software!! For years it bothered me that every year I had to purchase a new program, created by a foreign company. I used to use CanTax, which was written by some American company, and then TaxWiz, now owned by QuickTax.

I'm annoyed that I have to compare prices at different stores, and purchase a whole new software program. Then I found GenuTax - and I really must recommend it. You see, you buy the program ONCE, at a reasonable price. Then every year they send you an updated file. For FREE. I've been using it for four years now.

If you have an extremely complex situation (which I can't imagine at the moment) it may have its limitations, but I found it handled self-employment situations quite well, and I guess I don't have a complex situation otherwise. I've been very happy with it, and I've used to it help friends do their taxes as well.

So, what are you waiting for... click the link and go get it!!!

I've got another tool to recommend. WinUtilities. It's a great piece of software that cleans garbage files off your computer, cleans your registry, and optimizes the memory. And I can tell you hot to get it for free!

I don't know how long this will be available, so don't delay, download it and install you. You'll love it!!
