Today is April 15th. Time flies when you procrastinate. Have you finished your taxes? I have not.
This morning at the early hour of 6:30 I was signing the log at Curves and noticed that today is the 15th. It is the day we must file an extention.
I hate tax time. Though we tend to get a good check back from Uncle Sam, it is not a part of my daily routine to sit and do paperwork, total up numbers, do my business inventory and call our tax lady. It must be done sooner than later as we will be living off that money shortly, but I will procrastinate one more week.
A great excuse is that our tax lady is so busy that she’s hard to get an appointment with any time after February. Maybe next year I’ll call her in Feb. This year, we probably won’t be able to see her ’til May when her life slows down a bit and when I quit procrastinating.
The nice thing about our tax lady is she is excellent. She asks all sorts of questions to help us get more back. She knows her stuff. I’m looking forward to deducting Matt’s new computer next year!
So what are you going to do with your tax money this year? Or what have you already spent it on?
Tax Money
This will make you sick. Not only have I filed and got my money back. I also did it on January 31st and got my money back by the middle of February. I have it in my savings account. I am using the money to buy plants, mulch, a new tree for the back yard, and to buy some bushes this year. Last year I didn’t have enough money to do it but this year I will. Next year, I hope to have enough to get new carpeting in my living room.
I upped my weekly deductions in my paycheck so I can get more now and less of a ‘bonus’ next year.
31st here
–I filed on the 31st as well and had my money in hand and spent by the 2nd of Feb. It went to bills. Poof be gone. Teresa the Flautist and fire dancer
