Death and Taxes

Ouch.

I hurt.

I did my taxes (Death and the IRS) [1] last night.

Let me just say that Schedule SE [2] just plain sucks. Getting hit with 7% Social Security [3] as an employee and 7% as an employer really hurts. Especially given that as an employer I can't write off the 7% as a business expense in this case.
