I do. Have a CPA. I had some interest I wrote down from right on front of the check that wasn't on my IRS 1099 so I report it. He asks me why I report it. I say I'm reporting what i wrote down and would report if I never got a 1099 lol.

It would be easy to make an honest mistake though. Even for a CPA. After I settle down I go over my federal and state returns line by line. I understand most of it except this year I didn't know how to treat a certain kind of income and my CPA had to find out.

Many pitfalls is right. Most of those pages don't apply to most of us. I shudder to think if they take charge of Obamacare how taxpayers will deal with it. There will be a lot of angry people.

That's me. I report everything, even if someone hands me a $100 bucks for doing something for them. Otherwise, I wouldn't be on FR and even mentioning the IRS... lol
