It’s worth it. ;)

The only time taxes are fun is when you are getting money back! Other than that-- they are a drag! DDFD at DivorcedDadFrugalDad.com’s last blog post..Words of Wisdom: Bill Cosby on Parenting

I took the tylenol first :)

Actually, I did them in February, but some confusion on my hubby’s new federal government job info caused a filing delay until LAST WEEK! way too stressful for me and not enough time to get our Fed Refund to pay the State, so I was glad to have an emergency fund this year that we did not have last year – which of course the Fed refund is already set to transfer back into the emergency fund!

I usually find it more helpful to take the headache pill BEFORE I start :)

These state taxes are something else here…. get over $1000 refund from IRS but still have to pay $47 to the state…. always comes out that way!

I’m so thankful that my father-in-law is a extremely knowledgeable CPA, but we send in all our tax stuff as soon as we get everything in because my husband is a pastor and we have to be really organized and keep up with all kinds of receipts, etc. Luckily, in Texas, there is no state income tax, so we got to put our refund directly into savings! Most of that has gone towards hospital bills (baby on the way), but Praise God we had the money!

We also filed our taxes in February. Thankfully, Texas has no state income tax, so doing the Federal form was all we needed. It was actually fairly straightforward, although I did have to wait a few days to get one of the forms for our house from our new mortgage company because of the refinance we did. I really like filing electronically. Angelsong’s last blog post..Finances are looking up

Mercy! I filed earlier since I knew a refund was coming, but all that is going to change next year since DH’s changed careers.

We wrapped up taxes last night. Since we had to pay this year, I wanted to wait as long as humanly possible!

Like you, I should have paid estimated taxes last year (I am this year), so the end-of-the-year chunk of money due wasn’t quite as bad a hit. But, this was my first year of having any self-employment income, so it is a good problem to have.

I actually filed my taxes back in February. I was ready for my refund. I did have an issue though with Taxcut. Now keep in mind, I worked at an accounting office for eight years and I did bookwork and taxes while I was there, so I know how depreciation is suppose to work. The crazy program kept telling me I couldn't depreciate a truck for my husband's on-the-side business that had been depreciating for three years. It just about drove me nuts. Finally I figured out how to get the program to calculate it. It was really weird. Amanda @ Mommy's Idea Book’s last blog post..Get Up, Get Moving, and Get Sexy, Part 2
