The Tax Man Bites

My w-2s, 1099's and everything under the sun have been plugged into Turbo Tax. I love this software because it is very user friendly. However, I absolutely do not like the running tally in the side bar of what your refund or non-refund is. WTH!! My number is red. When it comes to money we all know red is not a good color.

I will wait a few weeks before re-visiting my taxes again. I refuse to believe it is red, and the amount is not a small number. After my little tax hiatus I will go over the numbers with a fine tooth comb.

Wish me luck, because Uncle Sam and his bastard state child are about to jack me up if I let them.

I hate that "feature" too! I dread hitting "submit" on any TurboTax screen because of the way the red numbers scroll quickly to an even worse negative number.

You think it's bad with one state return - try three.

Man, that stinks! I hope when you revisit the numbers, they turn to black.

Who's your daddy!?!?!?!?! Uncle fuggin' Sam. Gets us all. This explains why I waited until April 14th last year to do my taxes!

If you end up owing, it sux, but don't wait too long. If you overshoot the deadline due to avoidance syndrome, the penalty is pretty harsh. I speak as a fellow procrasinator who has learned from bitter experience.

GIRL YOU NEED SOME DEDUCTIONS!!!

Especially since you are SINGLE.. with no crumbsnatchers.. I mean Kids.. :)

FORTUNATELY for me.. I am getting a refund.. a nice chunk from both federal and state :) ONLY because I started my Jazzercise franchise in 2006 lol.. so the losses helped to offset my income.

you might want to make a few charitable contributions.. sponsor somebody in a race SOMETHING!
