Ok, it is tough to follow my last cheerful post with something much more ominous... it appears that the IRS is launching a study on how to better bend us to its mighty will... introducing the debut of the IRS compliance study... god help us all:

"compliance study for individual taxpayers that would provide updated and more accurate audit selection tools and support efforts to reduce the nation's $300 billion-plus tax gap."
