jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	What do you do to get ready for tax time? Do you fill out your own tax forms? Turn it all over to your accountant? Are you tax receipts all neat and organized? Or do you have them stuffed into every nook and cranny? What's a cranny? I start looking at mine and getting them all "pretty" for the IRS long about this month. By the first of the year, I'm good to go. I don't usually get a refund, but pay out the wazoo...When I do get one, I get Intaxication. What's that? Oh that is when you experience euphoria at getting a tax refund, and it last just until you realize it was your money to start with... _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

Throw in a dose of paranoia and you have me heading to the accountant's office. _________________________ If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane ~ Jimmy Buffett

orchid Registered: 01/21/07 Posts: 3675 Loc: British Columbia, Canada	So far have been doing my own tax return. It's ok if one's finances is generally straightforward. I can sympathize for those who run a business that is registered.... I don't understand why some college/university educated, literate people even use accountants when their finances are so straightforward and they don't have much money anyway. Tax planning, to reduce legitimate/legal personal income tax...requires managing one's money in certain financial instruments many months in advance... Yea, takes time.

yonuh Member Registered: 06/14/06 Posts: 2447 Loc: Arizona	I use turbo tax online. It's relatively inexpensive, and free if your income is below a certain amount (don't remember what the limit is). It's interactive and asks questions so you get all the deductions. My taxes are pretty simple, even with my business, so I've been using this for several years now and love it. Especially since it's been free the last year or so!! _________________________ Well-behaved women rarely make history. - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich http://ruthrainwater.wordpress.com/ http://newbeginningsgratitudejournal.wordpress.com/ http://sablewings.wordpress.com/

Anno Member Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 4434 Loc: Minneapolis Minnesota	I do my taxes myself too, and I am sure that I miss deductions because of it. But my salary is so small, that even missing a deduction wouldn't matter too much. I hate the whole process. As soon as I recieve the W-2's showing that over 1/3 of my income is going to the government, I start getting cynical and angry. I wouldn't mind if I saw the benefits of giving so much, but it all seems to be wasted on this or that and nothing much that really matters. Oh, there you go, JJ, getting me all wound up so early!! I am not suppose to be thinking about any of this until late January. _________________________ Follow our story of living, loving and laughing with a debilitating disease: http://www.multiplesystematrophyandshy-drager.blogspot.com

diamond50 Member Registered: 01/10/06 Posts: 992 Loc: Honolulu, Hawaii	Yucko to tax time! We usually gather everything in February and hand it over to our accountant. Having an LLC plus the personal taxes is a bit much to handle at tax time; drives us up the wall just even dealing LOL.
