Taxes finally done!!
Well, phew!
Finally got all the taxes done and the appropriate paperwork put into the mail. Goodness, what a chore it is each time! And it's not the filling out of the forms that takes so much work... that part is really easy. I use TurboTax which greatly simplifies the paperwork. The chore is finding and collecting all of the paperwork that I need in order to fill the blanks in the program! For example, if I sold stock, I have to go back and find detailed information about when I bought the stock. And since that's typically several years ago, I have to find the right folder with the right paperwork. If I donated items, I have to figure out how to value the items; if I purchased things for work, I have to find the receipts and see if I was reimbursed or not; if I have child care expenses, I have to find amounts I wrote the checks for and I have to find the care taker's tax ID number; etc., etc... all tedious work! It's all finally done now, so I can "relax" for another year...
Phew!
