I feel like Hobo Joe http://hoboroad.blogspot.com/ he is climbing the walls because he is trying to give up smoking and I am climbing the walls trying to do my taxes. You might think that one thing does not have to do with the other but nothing could be farther from the truth we are both feeling desperate, helpless and edgy at least on my part. I apologize to Hobo Joe if I put words in his mouth.
It does not help that I also drank a 16oz cup of coffee this morning so I could be bright, alert and focused. Well the truth is that all I am is nervous, in a bad mood and hating the IRS. Mind you, I don’t mind paying my fair share of taxes; I just hate all the forms and the gathering of information. I KNOW it is all my darn fault for waiting till the last minute, so if anyone is to blame…the fault is all MINE.
I have gone through a zillion boxes and finally found last year’s return in a nice little binder that my CPA prepared for me but it’s like 30 pages. Did I screw up by trying to save $220.00?
At Hobo Joe’s suggestion went to Walmart to get TurboTax but they don’t have that anymore as everyone but ME has already filed their taxes. Did go online but the version I require cost $74.95 and the point here was to save money.
Will try to complete it myself and read that dumb thick book but if not will have to buy the download version. Have until Monday October 17th at 11:59 p.m. PT to decide even though since I live in central time zone perhaps not.
I apologize to all the blogs that I follow as I probably wont be able to post until this nightmare is over.
