The New Tax Form

The two have little in common. The one really amounts to little more than closing one’s eyes, taking a deep breath and in the long ago days, signing a cheque. Completing the tax return form represents something entirely different.

There is always the fear that something has been overlooked, a significant receipt that has gone astray, a payment either in or out which had somehow not been properly recorded – so that finalising the return was inevitably put off until it could be put off no longer.
