The IRS tax form

brett@hpsrbkc.sr.hp.com (Brett K. Carver)
(topical, chuckle)

Since it's THAT time of year, I thought people might need a copy of this
year's tax form (this is the short form).  Just fill it out and send it in.

Some of the following is original, the rest has been gathered from various
sources over the years.

Note:  it's a full 80 characters wide and may be displayed with extra blank
lines by some notes/news readers.  If so, it'll look better printed.
