Tax Day - Monday 4/17

Everyone Git-R-Done?
I wish the post office was open now. That way, no one could accuse me of waiting until the last minute. Guess I will just have to wait and mail everything tomorrow. Wish it was the return, but it is just the extensions and a couple of checks.

I sent my $245 donation on Friday. I hope the Feds don't spend it all in one place.

Filed an extension....The IRS and State can wait.

Boy, that online version of TurboTax is sure a timesaver!

I was skeptical initially after using the program years ago and really not liking it.

But it's a whole 'nother game now.

I didn't intend to file electronically, planned to print & mail, but it was so simple I went ahead.

After doing the Federal joint 1040 and schedules, I spent a little more to do the Oregon taxes, and knocked them out in like 5 minutes.

If I gotta pay, at least I can reduce the time spent in pain! And no trip to the Post Office.

Filed the extension along with sending them thousands of dollars.

It's a good thing the springer run sucks, just gives me more incentive to work.

Turbotaxed it a few weeks ago and the bucks have been sitting in my account waiting to be spent.

My father-in-law sold his 2 buisnesses last year and his accountant esstimated his taxes about $40,000.00 less than what they are. Now they are scrambling to get the $$$$. Time for a new accountant.

Here's how my tax day went. Got my last extension out to the client at 11:00 today. Our office closed at 12:00. At 12:30 we were at the Raccoon Lodge having burgers and beer. Got home at 3:00 and started getting ready for the nap I have been waiting 3 1/2 months for. The phone rings. Its a client. She is elderly, in poor health, and bedridden. Somehow she has lost her Federal return that I sent her two weeks ago. She owes tax and I don't want her to get a late payment penalty. I put my shoes back on and drive from my house in NE Portland to Beaverton and reprint and assemble her return. I then drive out to King City and help her sign the return and write the check. Then its off to the post office to mail the return. Finally, I go back home to NE Portland just in time for dinner.

That nap will just have to wait another year.

I've used TurboTax for years on our personal returns but this year I tried the TurboTax Business program instead of having the CPA do our business taxes. I thought the program worked great! I had to do the same amount of preperation work and inputing the information was very easy. The output product was identical to what I usually pay the CPA $400-$800 for, but the program only cost me about $100. I also think I now have a better understanding about deductions for next year, something my tax guy never shared with me in the past.

Got my returns long ago...but waited till yesterday to drop my Multnomah County Monetary Mis-Management Fund check in the mail. MC can now officially kiss my....well, anyway, its good to be in Sherwood. :grin:

I could have paid to upgrade to a larger boat this year.

But instead I think I paid enough to support the war for another year.

Since I have nothing nice to say about Multnomah County's TAX-WASTE-TAX SOME MORE-WASTE EVEN MORE mentality, I'll just say ""

Federal, Oregon, County, and Property taxes are completely unreal in these parts! (and I'm a native oregonian)
