This year's taxes may have been a nightmare, but it's not too late to try a few steps to simplify the process for next year:

* Keep paper receipts and important documentation in an organized folder so that they're readily available when you need them.

* Use personal financing software to keep track of your expenses throughout the year. When tax season rolls around, this will save you the trouble of slogging through paperwork and digging up those old receipts. It can also itemize your expenses and even file your taxes for you.

* Subscribe to Tax Tips, an IRS service that delivers help topics by e-mail each business day during the tax-filing season and periodically during the rest of the year.

Who doesn't pay taxes?

Perhaps someone who lives in the wilderness and hunts his own food with crude homemade weapons and makes his own clothes from the hides of the animals he hunts. There are so many taxes -- income taxes, sales taxes, vice taxes, property taxes, vehicle taxes, amusement taxes, and so on -- that it's hard to imagine anyone else who could completely escape taxes in the United States. Perhaps outside the United States, the rulers of certain countries may exempt themselves or some countries may have weak and ineffectual governments that cannot collect taxes. But in the latter case, people are probably still paying tributes to local warlords or plundering armies or militias.

Why was it hard to get money during the revolutionary war?

Taxes are never popular and taxation was one of the complaints against the British that led to the revolution. Consequently the new revolutionary government found it very hard to levy and collect taxes. The Continental Congress had to rely on the individual states to collect revenue and pass it along to the central government. The war disrupted the economy and trade with Europe, so money was hard for individuals to come by.

Under Reagan the federal debt tripled why?

Same reason as always. People want the government to spend money on them, but nobody wants to pay more taxes. Congress finds it hard to reduce spending and hard to increase taxes, but easy to run up the debt. The currency is no longer based on gold or silver, so inflation and lower international credit rating are the only reasons not to increase the debt.
