Taxes...

     Today was the day to begin preparing my taxes for the preparer. With agriculture interests, etc., my filing is too complicated for me to attempt alone. All was going well until I discovered that the brokerage firm will not have a report ready until next week. Minnesota Soybean Processors, (MSP), with whom I hold a couple of stocks, sent a letter saying they are working on some complicated tax issues. Their advice was to file for an extension while MSP works out the details. When the brokers report next week I should be able to hand over my material. Once in the CPA's hands I can just wait to see what MSP sends. Last year their tax packet was about 30 pages! none of which I could understand.

'"Nothing is certain but death and taxes" is a famous maxim regarding the inevitability of mortality and taxation, popularly attributed to Benjamin Franklin in a 1789 letter concerning the US Constitution. It highlights the unavoidable nature of taxes to fund government services and the certainty of death, often used to emphasize realism."  Internet
