It also works to tell your friends this so they quit asking you to do their taxes!
Might be because GreenLatern is in Sask that she knows tax. I know most smaller firms in Alberta spend a lot of time doing tax, compilations and NTRs.

Unless you're in a tax role at a Big4/Industry you'll probably touch tax once, maybe twice a year when you're being bugged about provisions.

People always think I'm busy right now because of taxes.....sure, I probably know more about taxes than most people, but not enough that I'm willing to be responsible for other peoples!
