Did you file your taxes yet?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

All the money talk reminded me:  taxes are done.  I owe the feds $27 and NY owes me $250.

whoop there it is

Wow, nice work with the Federal taxes.  I don't think I've ever heard of anyone getting that close to $0 on either side at year's end.  And don't kid yourself - NY owes you a lot more than that, even if not legally.


BTW, I did my taxes about 2 days too early and I got two more forms for nominal items that barely change my liability one way or the other.  That'll teach me not to procrastinate...  speaking of which, I plan to wait to file the amended returns until April 1 or so.

I did mine at H&R Block. Someone else doing my taxes for me and being responsible in case of any bullshtein makes me feel tingly.

Got around $2000 back.

and you think Block is responsible?   they are NOT.  as your "preparer" they are only responsible to prepare your return, nothing else.

As a beneficiary of your client's generosity, please express my gratitude for his interest free loan.

Someone else is doing the work and that's all I give a shtein about. I used to do my own and it drove me nuts for that hour or two. I want other people to do annoying shtein so that I don't have to. And I'm willing to pay.

Actually H&R Block offers a "peace of mind" guarantee, I think for $27. They will pay all penalties and interest if any are found and will represent you without your showing up or having to answer anything to the IRS. They also claim in most cases they will even pay any additional pre- penalty/interest amounts originally owed. I don't know what happens when this is put to the test, but for $27 it seems a no brainer to me.

So my accountant came over saturday, while he spent 2 hours doing our taxes. I was having a couple beers in the basement playing darts with the neighbor.

I really enjoyed doing my taxes this year.

[Wingspan]

Oh, and I did a few pro-bono jobs for a couple of different charity things, it costed me no money out of pocket...yet resulted in an additional $600 back.
