Tax preparation

Anyone else out there like me and procrastinating? I actually did finish them yesterday, this being the latest I've ever done them. This was because I knew I was going to owe lots. And I was right. Ick.

No, I did mine as soon as I got all my stuff. Already got my state refund and have to send that to the Feds.

I received my refund in January. I knew I was getting $ back and I had this weird goal to see if I could get it in January.

We worked on them all weekend. Hopefully we'll get them done next weekend. I really need to buy a couch!

I got the papers from our accountant; I need to review them, sign them, and get them back to the guy. For some reason I keep forgetting.

Someone else is doing mine. Haven't gotten the forms back yet.

This is the first year in forever I can't use the simple return, so I did mine thru Turbo Tax over a month ago. But - ugh - they say I owe $5,000. I've been so busy trying to come up with that money, I haven't sat down and gone over the returns with a fine-tooth. I want to do that this week, and hope for some error that means I owe less $. I doubt that will be the case, but I can't fork over that kind of money without making sure I owe it. Of course, if I understood how to do this type of return, I could have done it myself in the first place.

I'm sure my returns will be postmarked April 14.

I had an accountant do it. With all Mom's stuff I inherited, buying a house and then I had to do Estate taxes as well. I owed a scary amount - but I knew I would so it was in reserve. Looking forward to next year and a simpler return.

Ugh. Long story. Ugh will have to suffice.

I did them a couple months ago and owed so waited to pay.

Bought a new computer and didn't want to have to install Turbo Tax on the new machine just to file so I went ahead and did so over the weekend before shutting down the old computer.
