Has anyone used PayUSATax to pay their federal taxes with a credit card? They charge 1.96%. I think some of the credit cards will give you effectively 4%+ back. Is it worth it to use? I owe $150K so the effective fee will not be small ($3K).

Where can I purchase I-Bonds?

I look in my mailbox,
A lovely Surprise,
From the senior center,
A package has arrived

I unwrap the green sheets,
Then squeal with delight,
With financial statements,
The net income ties,

I then flip to the perms,
Starting with M&E,
My stomach starts growling,
So I move on hurriedly

What large penalty numbers,
These rule breaking folks,
A few fines here and there,
To them it's a joke

Book depreciation,
Less than tax I see,
DTL is created,
As favorable as can be
...
