OT/ taxes - remember to make back up copies and keep them in more than one location. Next year is likely to be much easier with Turbo tax. Since the actual tax preparation is easier, you can spend time looking for more deductions, like Car registration fees, which can be partially deductable. Writting the checks was always my problem.

>>>I figure I spent about 40 hours this year using Turbotax for the first time.<<< Should go a lot faster next time. It will import a lot of information from this year to next year's version. I also get Quicken as freebie (rebate) each year and use it to record all security trades. TurboTax imports those right onto the Schedule D and figures all the taxes, long and short term gains, etc. If you keep the Quicken current, reporting your gains and losses takes a half-second. I use TurboTax for state taxes as well, and it keeps track of state refunds or taxes paid. And so on. I sure wish I had started thinking more seriously about uranium several years ago, though I guess I have done about as well investing in other forms of energy. But the people who accumulated Cameco starting about the year 2002 have been riding a tiger. finance.yahoo.com
