> the 1040EZ form no longer exists

That is wild. I remember using it for my first job, and yep, it took me all of a few hours to fill it out by hand and mail it in.

A few hours? HOURS? The 1040EZ was like 6 questions, it shouldn't have to take you more than 10 minutes.

You're right, I'm basically counting all the time it took me to find an envelope and stamps, get lunch, get a bus to the post office, drop it off, and head to a nearby coffee shop :)

Oops. Damn. Sorry for the bad advice. Thank you for the correction.
