US taxes are the reason I have my taxes done by a professional. (That, and my own personal history of mathFAIL.) Canadian taxes are a pain in the ass, admittedly, but just looking at the arcane, counterintuitive, completely irrational* US tax form makes me want to curl up in a little ball and whimper until it all goes away. And that's without actually having to pay any US taxes -- I file a US return basically just to prove that I don't owe the IRS anything.**
Which reminds me that DH and I haven't sent off our stuff to our tax lady yet. Sigh.
*Right down to its name. 1040D? WTF? Sounds like motor oil. **Dual citizenship. It has its ups and downs.
