I changed my return last year during winter break to come back here early (went into the office Jan. 2 to change from the 6th to the 4th), and there's a chance that I'll have to change the return again this year. For the extra cost (this time, T-cuts was $40 cheaper than the published), the flexibility is certainly worth it. Matthew :)
