It's tax time in the United States, as the filing deadline of April 15th looms for both state and federal income taxes.
So let's hope this weekend's appropriately themed enigmas are not too taxing.
TRIVIA TIME

THE LETTER SHUFFLE
Although I hate running the same puzzle type two weeks in a row, what better way to file than to see how many words can be found using the letters in the words INCOME TAX?
