Bit Coins and Rare Coins and Taxes, Oh My
I don't know why I keep getting dragged onto weird tax returns. Or any tax returns! I'm in the Audit group! But no, they want me working these tax returns, and I am so ... damn ... over it.
Especially the Bitcoin returns. And especially the Bitcoin returns where no two people who've touched the return before me can agree on how to input the transaction data into the website, so Tax Miniboss hands me a return with hundreds of Warning flags and in one case a [i]negative Bitcoin balance, which is impossible,[/i] and says "Figure this out. Oh, and we're not telling you which programs to use or how to do any of this."
But there's a special spot in hell for eBay sales and having to organize almost a hundred pages of poorly scanned printouts with handwritten notes on them saying how much the seller paid for a Buffalo nickel with a picture Spock on the back or whatever all the way back in the eighties and [i]all of this is over less than 500 dollars in sales which is worth less than the combined hourly rates we charge to prepare these forms so WHY DOES ANYONE CARE[/i].
