I'm an IT person. I'm comfortable with computers, I'm comfortable with reading the damn manual.
However, I treat tax refunds like minor surgery: looks straightforward, you could probably do it yourself just fine, but if you fuck up you're in for a world of pain.
I lack the expertise to know I'm not fucking up. I don't have a handle on what the tax department considers yeah-ok, what's a bit cheeky, or what's a slam dunk that of course I should put in, jeez.
I can't work without , but I also make use of it for non-work purposes. Can I claim a deduction for it? Can I claim some of the cost? What percentage should I aim for?
I don't fucking know, and I don't want to end up in court because I misunderstood some arcane combination of The Rules, and What We're Looking Askance At This Year.
Or I can pay $180 and not have to worry about any of it.
