Mailed my taxes on the 25th of Jan -- because that's the day we got our W2s.

Did I mention that I *like* to do my taxes? I like the puzzle. TurboTax is for wimps.

I am a wimp.

A wimp whose lame dinosaur of a computer will most likely not be able to run TurboTax. (Not that I won't at least look into it . . . )

My Taxes are all done. Trust me, I have no reason to lie to you. Honestly, they're done. I dare you to prove otherwise.

I used to like to do our taxes. Now I HATE it.

Thanks to all those groovy federal tax cuts and credits, the state's economy has tanked....raised taxes, maxed out budgets, eaten up surpluses, canceled programs and passed the buck to local/county programs to find funding.

Ah, so now we have a county income tax that eats my federal return, PLUS we will end up owing the state. Yeah, lots of incentive to get my taxes done again this year.

I think I'll wait til April again.

I love this administration.

Now, I wouldn't blame the feds for that. AZ is doing just fine, and we have the same federal government as Oregon. I don't know much about the government of Oregon, but perhaps they have some internal policies making life more difficult than it has to be?

Among other things, Oregon has no sales tax, so the state has less revenue generating power, so they are a lot more dependant on Federal funding.

Really? That's an interesting policy. I think they screw themselves with that, personally, because then they generate virtually no income from tourists, unless they have some sort of bed and board tax.
