I Got Those Itemized Deduction Blues

Tax season isn't exactly the time of year that makes me break out into song. But then I'm not like Steven Zelin, "The Singing CPA," who likes to serenade taxpayers making that last-minute dash to the main post office in Manhattan each April 15. Zelin, it turns out, has crafted a whole CD full of catchy tunes like "Working 9 to 9:05," "Dear IRS" and "(Who You Gonna Call?) Tax Busters." Why, he's even managed to make "Sarbanes-Oxley" rhyme. Sort of.

Zelin has graciously passed his songs along to University of Cincinnati law professor Paul Caron, who links to them on his terrific TaxProf blog. Don't forget to check out Caron's links to the work of some other tax-time troubadours.

Zelin's album is for sale online on regular CD or via download, in case you need something to cheer you up while working on your 1040 during the next week. But before you try to deduct it as a tax preparation expense, maybe you'd better ask an expert.
