Thompson & McCarty, P.C. CPA

I often here the phrase "everybody cheats on their taxes". Well I have never believed this to be true and often debate such statements. I see way too many people that are scared to take advantge of deductions that they have the legal right to take and should be taking. Still others are not getting the dedcutions they deserve becasue they are getting their return done on the "cheap" or they do them themselves and don't have the knowledge needed to take advantage of all legally allowed deductions. Now I have the GAO to back me up. The GAO estimates that 2.2 million lazy people took the standard deduction when itemizing would have saved them an estimated $473 million in taxes. Read the entire article here. This does not include the overpayments that were made at the state level for the same reason. Folks our govenrment is taxing us enough without the extra effort you are making to pay more taxes. This article makes me want to puke. If you are one of these lazy people and don't care, please don't come here to read my tax savings strategies anymore. You are using up valuable resources for those of us who despise the confiscation of the fruits of our labor by the government.  If you are tired of having your money confiscated and wasted then contact us, WE WANT TO HELP!
