Long gone are the days when nerds would get shoved into lockers; we've grown up to rule the world. Glasses-donning Clark Kent perpetually saved his city from villains; techie nerds now make millions as startup CEOs; and studious girls went on to become medical heroes. What some may call “nerd,” we call “genius”—and let's face it: Who you gonna call when you need to save much-needed funds during tax season? Tax nerds (aka, accountants)! If you think none of the below apply to you, you are a tax nerd in denial.

• ▪ You wear funny hats and throw confetti at fiscal New Year's Eve parties.

• ▪ Your audiobook selection includes the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and read by Mitt Romney and Harry Reid.

• ▪ You believe that below the line deductions should be allowed to offset under the table income.

• ▪ You named your pet dog FIFO.

• ▪ You were surprised to learn that the commissioner at the other end of the Batphone did not work for the IRS, and that Batman was not a revenue officer.

• ▪ You charge $1,099 to prepare the tax return of an independent contractor.

• ▪ You think those who advocate a VAT are full of it.

• ▪ When your parents gave you a copy of the Internal Revenue Code as a birthday present, you insisted they file a gift tax return.

• ▪ You believe AMT is the IRS's ATM.
