Grant us we have -completed our rForm 1040 correctly so no power will find fault with it.

We pray to God that We 'have added lines 12, 13, 14 and 15 accurately, and that we Jiave substracted line 17 from -line? 16 so. our adjusted gros income is computed to their divine satisfaction. We ask you, 0 Lord, to protect our exemptions and bless our deductions as outlined in Schedule A (Form 1040) (See Chapter 10 and 11). Have mercy on those of us who failed to wisely estimate our payments during the year, and must now borrow from Peter to pay Paul. Blessed are those who spent more than they earned and contributed so much to the economy.

Give us the strength; Lord, to find losses to wipe out our net gains (See Form 4797) so that we may dwell in a lower tax bracket forever and ever (as outlined in Publication 17, the Revised 1972 Edition). Pray help us find loopholes and tax shelters so we are not deemed sinners, but are looked, upon as honorable businessmen who are just taking full advantage of the law. We ask You, Almighty, to protect us from auditing by government servants who don't know the difference between a business lunch and a family picnic. Give them- but there is no one there to answer them. Yea though we walk through the valley of the shadow of bankruptcy (See tax rate schedule or if applicable schedule or schedule or maximum Tax Form 4726) there is no one to comfort us.

Congress have mercy on us. Treasury have mercy on us. Pentagon have mercy on us. HEW have mercy on us. HUD have mercy on us.

Wilbur Mills have mercy on us. And finally if, as You have proclaimed, the meek shall inherit the earth, all we humbly ask is that the IRS consider it a capital gain instead of ordinary income.

What good is it for a man to own the 'world and then discover his wife is not tax deductible? Those of Your humble servants on straight salary beg Thee to withhold more than we owe, so at the end of the fiscal year we will be granted a much-deserved refund.

And, Dear God, make sure thak which is refunded by the federal government is not taken away from us by the state, and that which is refunded by the state is not taken away from us by the county, and, that which is refunded to us by the county is not taken away by the town.
