    I don't know who does the work for the IRS forms download website but they should resign in shame. One of the guys at work wanted a printout of the form 1040EZ (emphasis added by me). I printed the form for him. He came back and asked me to print the instructions for him as they were no longer part of the form pdf. I found them and started printing them. The instructions turn out to be 43 pages long. Am I the only one to see the irony in this?:mad::confused: X| :omg:

        I don't think `EZ` means to them what you think it means... :doh: Or...! It could be that this is the simplest form and set of instructions they have for mortals to fill out.

        Anything that could possibly go wrong in some moment, will definitely go wrong in the worst possible moment...
        In the worst way that could be possible!

          That's because it's the EZ form. The normal form has over 100 pages of instructions. :-\

          There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

            Ha, no wonder he wanted you to print them! ...the problem isn't with the developers, but with the dumbed down public who need a paragraph to explain every entry. :confused:
