Tax Season is OVER!

Yeah, it's finally over. However, I feel like a little beastie in a cage who has been forced to run a wheel for what seems like forever. Down with the IRS!

For you it might me.

Don't hit me...

I had mine done by the 23rd of January.

I had to go to the Post Office late yesterday afternoon. Bloody ZOO!!!! There were idiots filling out their 1040's in line, for shit sake.

Tax Season is never over.

When you are actually doing other people's taxes, the end of tax season is cause to celebrate.

My office had 6 returns to mail last night because they couldn't be e-filed. We finally left the office at 11pm. I put in 35 hours since Saturday. I still have to work tomorrow, on the returns we filed extensions for, but there's very little stress with those.

I filed ours the first part of March, timing it so our refund would arrive the day we left for Chicago.

And no, tax season is never really over.

I am with Cloudy on this. I filed near the end of January.

I am however still awaiting my return. I figure it will take another month for it to show up.

Wow, that's a long time, Cat. Complicated return?

Nope. Uncle owes me money and while he is ever so insistant on getting money from us, he takes his sweet time returnin our money.

At the end of every tax season, I say I'm going to do it as soon as we both have our W-2s in hand, and every year I end up putting it off as long as I can.

I haven't been to the Post Office to mail off a return in I don't know when. TurboTax rules. I don't know what we did without it, and other kinds of tax preparation software.

We only had a little bit of trouble this year--I put something in the wrong place and was led to think I needed a 1099 from Merrill Lynch, which we hadn't received. In the end we found out that we didn't receive one because it didn't apply to us, and by the time I got that ungoofed, we went from thinking we'd have to pay to getting a refund.

If not for that, I'd have gotten ours filed on Sunday night, instead of Monday. As it was, I'm awfully glad that we got it out of the way then, considering how TurboTax got overwhelmed on the 17th, due to millions of people submitting their returns at the same tme.

This was the first year in the last 6 that I didn't wait to file on the last day.

I kept thinking that I really need to do my taxes, then I remembered....they're already done. Yippee!

This year I was incredibly thankful I work for Jackson Hewitt. Some of the deductions we could legally take weren't allowed by the tax prep software on the market. Jackson Hewitt's software not only allowed those deductions, it found a few more that I had missed. The combination made a $3000 difference in our refund.
