Hey! It's April 15th and I'm home before midnight! Long before midnight... Yay!!
Tax time, tax time... it's officially over for me, even though I'll still have to work a total of 4 days over the next 2 weeks. But I won't be busy at all... I love my job, but I'm so tired...
Twenty five more days until Thomas' due date. At this point, I'd pop this big balloon with a huge straight pin if I could find one...
And finally... May 19th is the last day of school for the kiddos.
Hmmm...timed everything about right, didn't I?

Have I mentioned that I highly recommend H&R Block's online tax service? Free to poor people? Really simple and easy to do.

Hey! Quit using those dirty words in my threads!
I'm much nicer than anyone at H&R, and I'm cool enough to know about Hatrack!
I work for Jackson Hewitt.
BTW, if you are old enough, young enough, or qualify for EIC, you can use Turbo Tax for the Web and e-file for free.

Both HR's software and TurboTax have screwed up my electric vehicle credit. TurboTax screwed me worse, because instead of acknowledging that they had no info and I had to go find my own and file on paper, they gave me wrong info, costing me a $900 credit--not deduction, credit--I should have had. Now this year I get to try to claim an extra $900 from last year.
Gah!
I guess this is just my night to be frustrated.
Anyhow, I've already filed for my extension.

Last chance: I'm going to bed in half an hour.
Thing is, we'll prolly get a refund, she just didn't have time to get to it. So it's not like we're trying to put off paying or anything.

I feel lucky mine are simple this year. Though last year was a mess. Then again, income was better last year.

Ahhhhhhhhhh. I got $1130 and change back this year. It's a nice return when your average income is below the poverty line.

Mackillian, if you're still in the years of simple taxes, no worries about deadlines. Last year I filed in July and I still got my full refund, no penalties. It cost $14 through EZefile.com.

I already have my federal refund back... State's not here yet, 'cause I couldn't e-file due to a weird property tax thingie. But I spent my lunch hour yesterday at the jewelry store, deciding where my 10% frivolous money was going.
Really, I need to change my withholding so I don't get so much back. But it's between diamond earrings and a KitchenAid food processor.... it's so much fun!
Anyway, Boon, glad you can rest. Posts: 7954 | Registered: Mar 2004

We ended up having to pay about $600 this year. Next year should be better though, since we'll have bought a house by then.
Hey, Boon, what kind of documentation do I need to do of my cheritable giving? I've never worried about it before, because as a renter it didn't make sense to itemize. Now, though, I think it will. I haven't kept any records for the year so far, but I do know how much I've spent on it per month.

I'm getting a huge refund on state tax which is more than canceled out by a huge payment on federal tax. Posts: 37449 | Registered: May 1999

Somehow, even though I'm in the days of simple tax, I ended up OWING $320. *stabs IRS*

The IRS does not require a receipt for any single donation less than $250.
I've seen a lot of printouts from churches itemizing what date/how much, but it's really not necessary. If there's any doubt, your check register should suffice as "proof".
