Taxes are done! Only took me a couple of hours!

[crispini]

Ah, I love Turbo Tax! :bounce:

And I'm getting money back! I'm such a lazy fscker, I should have done this back in January! :bounce:

Done yours yet?

4. Yes, well, pre-Turbo Tax I used to participate

in the midnight run to the G.P.O. -- so I'm just amazed I'm getting it done MORE THAN TWENTY FOUR HOURS ahead!

I actually kind of miss the party at the post office though. :party:

Did you know that 25% of American citizens do their taxes on the last day? I'm in good company. :D

15. Two years ago I mailed mine on the 15th -

Krispy Kreme was at the post office handing out free doughnuts!

18. You could still go to the post office.

Just elect to print and mail the return yourself rather than e-file.

20. Lazy....

Although if they want us all to e-file they could stop charging us the $15!!! It might be worth it just to do the paper.

2. I owe...

Last minute chick here... I don't wanna part with the moola... :(

3. So I'm sitting down to do my taxes today, waiting until the last minute,

as usual, and sure enough, I can't find one of my W-2s. Which means I have to get another one from my employer, which means I have to file for an automatic extension. I estimate how much I owe them, send a check. Not that big a deal; I've done it before, but I feel like such a disorganized idiot.

6. Hear, hear.

I'm trying to be more organized this year. I don't know how well that's working out yet though...

5. My mother's a tax preparer.

She does mine for me. :D

[crispini]

8. JEALOUS.

Why can't my 'rents be useful like that? :mad: Oh well they bought Easter brunch today anyway! :P

9. If it makes you feel better...

I got a whopping $33 refund -- enough to buy a tank of gas in Southern California. ;)

10. That's the nice thing about homeownership.

Makes for some pretty sweet deductions! I always used to owe.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

11. LOL, I don't own a home.

Unless I misunderstood your post. :D

[crispini]

14. Yea but I do! :)

So buy one already! :bounce: :D

[Starbucks Anarchist]

17. Sure, I can afford one in Los Angeles.

:rofl:

[crispini]

19. Eesh. My sympathies.

I hear the real estate bubble is supposed to burst soon, FWIW.... :shrug:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

21. Actually, I'm moving to NYC in a few months.

I'm sure I can afford something there. :rofl:

7. Done and the money is back and in the bank.

I do have to pay a local tax tomorrow, but I'm just waiting to hand in the check at the last minute. :)

Feds took a couple of weeks longer than the state to return my money.

12. i broke down and gave up

i had to use the jerks from liberty tax for the second year....hopefully THIS year there will be no snafus...

turbo tax for me from now on

[no name no slogan]

13. Did 'em last week

they were kind of complicated, considering I split with my ex-wife and sold a house last year-- part of which had been used for a home office (which means paying capital gains on the office part of the house).

I ended up owing about $1100 fed, but strangely enough I got a $14 deposit in my checking account on Friday from the IRS-- the same day they cashed my check. I guess TurboTax overestimated, or something.

16. I used Turbo Tax this year only because of the NYS return

It was so complicated that I actually couldn't figure it out so I had Turbo Tax do it. Normally I just do it on paper but the NYS return this year is ridiculous. It arrives with "instructions" the size of phone book. I mailed it out Friday but I had started "reconnaissance" the previous weekend.

22. Thank God for Turbo Tax ! Just saved me a whopping bundle

i'm talking several thousand....i guess it was worth the 59.99 for Turbo Tax Premium
