I think they were responding to dude who said he had a lot to learn. The best time to start is when you're young, 'cause then you get in the habit of thinking how taxes could impact you. It's also super easy for most college kids, as they're generally filing a 1040EZ. When you get older, it's just a matter of whether you want to know tax code or not and how complicated your finances are. I personally like it because it helps me understand how many life decisions impact and are impacted by the tax code. That's not to mention things like FSA/HSA/401k. But also, we didn't even have capital gains to claim this year, so it was total easy button.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
