Death and Taxes

So how do you know that your taxes have gotten too complicated to do yourself? When you find yourself arguing and making sarcastic remarks directed at a computer program. This is a cry for help (With my taxes, of course). No really, anyone an accountant?

This is my "conversation" with the H&R Block "people" last night.
