WTF! I so PO'd! I filed the tax myself like I did last year but haven't submitted the form yet. Should I go to a professional? I feel like I need to find some random chick and marry her just for the BS tax break that married couples get. Or go buy a cheap house and rent it out although it would be my "permanent residence". I'd appreciate the wisdom you guys and gals have to share since I have only filed taxes on my own 4 times lol
