in Off Topic
Just to make a long story short my career was as a "bean counter" so for 55 years now I have done my own taxes...no Turbo tax or any other crutch because sometimes I find it a challenge.

Today I needed a couple forms for a client rather than use the forms on the IRS site. I went to our local IRS office for those forms. Just as soon as I walked in some "Johnny Law wannabe" with a shaved haircut and top knot told me to stop! I said...huh??? He said "I told you to STOP! Why are you here?" At first I was dumbfounded, but said "to get some forms and I pointed at the wall where they have been for years! Even before I got my reply out he already had his hand on his pistol!!! 

I said "you're kidding me?" He said, No - this is now standard practice."

Guess I should sleep tight tonight knowing some skin head armed with a pistol and an IRS badge will be protecting us taxpayers from picking up blank forms at the "helpful IRS" office!

    Be careful, if AOC aka "THE DITZ" has her way you will NOT be allowed to "carry".

    My local Social Security office also has an armed guard at the front door.  You get a number from him and then sit in the waiting room till they are ready for you.

    Seriously? A deep freezer? Outside or inside your house?  Only thing that seems rational there is that outside it may fall under some sort of plain sight exemption?

    Sad state of affairs right there.  Must be concerned over the change to the tax law and the refund backlash  ;)
