Picasso once said, "Nothing is certain but death and taxes," and now that most people are living forever, it's really only taxes that are unavoidable. Today's Groupon lets you tackle a necessary evil without relying on your father or elementary math skills to fill out the requisite forms. For $69, you get $167 worth of tax services at Russell Tax Services, located in Delaware (the town, not the state or the state of mind).

By offering personalized service that’s much more thorough than national chains and more cost-effective than CPA-trained offices, Russell Tax keeps its focus solely on taxes. Doug Russell is an Enrolled Agent who has passed a three-day, 12-hour IRS examination and an IRS background check. Russell Tax Services functions in a futuristic realm of paperless electronic files, resulting in a speedy and tree-friendly office that will most likely be spared when a vengeful Mother Nature reclaims the planet with smothering jungle canopy. As such, time-strapped clients can upload their documents directly and communicate via telephone, or set up an appointment in person. This Groupon will file your one complete return of state ($49 value), federal ($89 value), and local/school-district ($29 value) taxes with your W-2 information (additional itemized deductions and business forms may accrue additional charges). Print-outs and digital files are included.

Number-crunching wages from a summer paper route and business expenses like a llama purchase for a backyard petting zoo can be difficult. Russell Tax Services takes the stress out of dealing with The Man so clients can concentrate on more-important tasks, like fabricating elaborate stories about their fake jobs during dinner dates.
