You'll be amazed what people try to deduct. I remember doing a return for a Navy sailor who was trying to deduct her "Sunshine fund" contributions for work (I.e., the stuff people contribute to in order to pay for flowers when someone has a baby, experiences a loss, etc). I may think TT is easy, but if you talk to the average Joe out there... they still hate to do their taxes and will pay someone else to deal with it so they don't have to. Me, personally, I don't see the big deal with taxes & why people hate it so much. I don't even understand why people think its that complicated (I'm referring to most situations I've encountered, not the genuinely more complicated ones that I need to start looking at the tax rules again)... but then again, I'm sure my IT friends feel that way about programming.

I'm having last year customers calling me to do their taxes but I can't due to me studying. But, they are aware of TT but just don't want to deal with it. They would prefer to be at Disney World or something.
