An idea whose time has come.

Sodora founded Tavern Tax in 2005. For 10 weeks leading up to the April 15 deadline to submit U.S. income tax returns, he brings his tax-filing services to bars on weekday nights and weekend afternoons. At an Irish pub on Wednesday night, Sodora set up shop under a “Tavern Tax” sign with a fold-up table covered with a framed photo of laughing friends, his laptop and a lamp. One by one, clients relaxed in the chair across from him, handing over documents and sipping on beer. “I always say to people, ‘Where’s your beer? I can’t have one but you can,’” Sodora said.

In the past I’ve usually drank while I did my taxes.  It numbs the pain.

Drinking while someone else does my taxes, though, is probably a better idea.
