a help, for a fee, of course

Tax returns in the United States are reports filed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), containing information used to calculate tax liabilities and payments, often including financial information used to compute the tax. A very common federal tax form is IRS Form 1040.

Tax Return Time is a fun time. Really. It brings up various sides of your personality as well as a notion of what Uncle Sam is thinking of you. Actually, how is He thinking of you, to be more precise. Just read the instruction booklet for the IRS form 1040, it’s only 214 pages for the year 2012. Only two hundred and fourteen pages because this booklet does not contain actual tax forms to be filled, only instructions how to fill them. You see, it must be fun to fill the forms when you are so abundantly instructed.

Wait, there’s more. As you can see from the image on the right, a partial scan of the page #25 of the instructions, Uncle Sam offers a help in some instances, for a fee, of course (highlighting is mine, I admit) in spite of the references, just read the text, which propel you beyond the limitations of those 214 pages.

But back to the help, for a fee. Why a fee of only $1,000 is offered to a retired person? Only $1,000 to fill one out of 77 lines of 1040 US Individual Income Tax Return, line #16, looks like a real bargain. Could Uncle Sam be using the same logic by which some American cities are giving free ride on public transportation to their senior population? To seniors who are (ever enlarging) part of "We the People"    [ROLLOVER].
