15 minutes can save you 33%

Had my annual brush with hypertension yesterday when the tax bill arrived. (here's last year's episode.)

It was too big. Well, given my political views, it is always too high, but this was ridiculous.

Pored over it line by line. With a fine tooth comb.

Called the CPA.

Well, it turns out what we had here was a failure to communicate.

When all was said and done, the WHOLE bill was 33% lower.

Ok, blood pressure high. Just not as high! :-)
