That time of the year Again! Tax Time

Tax time can be a frustrating time for some folks preparing their own taxes! On the other hand when you use the right guide it can be fun and a learning process for a life time! In my case I have been using "Turbo Tax" for nine years now and they work great for me! All the answers are at your finger tips and you can take your own time to finish, the cost is very low with a discount from my credit card company!! They store your last year info in giving to charities and things you'll need for the current year. Then you can e file which is the quickest way to get your refund back!

 

So I'll devote this week to finishing this task on my "Honey Do List" I awake and find stuck to my computer screen! I don't go downstairs early in the mornings because I got all I need in my bedroom and that's a blessing in my case! I got the stair lift but still it's more convenient for me to have everything I need upstairs! I guess you could say I got my office and kitchen in the bedroom and I'm only a couple feet from the bathroom.

 

Today so happen my little puppy wants to sleep right under the keyboard while his master, my grand daughter, is in school. She is really sleeping too so she is no trouble except pee-p and pooping on the Pad training. Speaking of school the Spring break is just around the corner. Now is the time to get the taxes done and I'll take a break of being on the Army post helping the wounded warriors recover! So when people ask if I get bored at home my answer is Hell no, I got plenty to do! I was up early enough to put the trash can out on the curb with one hand. I turn the big can around to wheels are toward the street and push as I take a couple steps! That works great for me. I got my cane in my left hand holding it until I need it to walk back to the garage. There is a slight incline from the garage out to the street.

 

I get to watch TV while I'm using my computer. My monitor is also my TV so in the evening I can watch the evening news ABC and CBS on two channels! Well my little Princess is awake now so I'd better see if she wants to potty on her pad in the other room! Happy days to all of you in our journeys of recovering and care giving support!

Fred!

thanks for update on your life. I have married accountant who uses turbotax for our taxes, I always feel I should be doing our taxes, but since he is accountant, he takes over & I back off. I also love my retired life since I have created my new routine which involves doing exercise,watching tv & taking care of my family. life is good.

Fred,

 

Yes, you do keep busy. I hate taxes...and the time of year that we have to file.

 

I take our to an accountant. And that is still too much work for me.

 

I cannot believe it....you have to help with the puppy. Good luck.

I did my own taxes before my stroke. I now have someone else do them. My head just cannot do taxes anymore. It is better to pay someone than to make a mistake, which is likelyto be costly. The govt frowns on mistakes, even if they are accidental, LOL. This year I decided to send my data electronically. Not sure if that was easier than using the post office. My accountant emailed back that all came through. So it is in her court now.

 

Congrats on your granddaughter's puppy. Little pets are always cute. They tend to like to please, so are endearing!

 

Take care,

Lin,

 

When I had my business I would use a Tax Man and he was super good and reasonable! He was an Ex-taxman at IRS! I never got an audit! Now I use Turbo Tax that he suggested to me as being much cheaper than himself! I had him look over the first three years of me doing my own, it was OK and since then I had no trouble. I should have done another w-4 when I got my raises but didn't so this year I OWE!

 

Ruth, I'm the main helper and she listens to me about using the training pad while the others get her to use it at times! Today Saturday she made 10 weeks old. She goes to puppy training on the 31st this month. If she is not using the pad all the time by then I will put her in Potty training at Pet smart right after her puppy training classes!

 

Everybody in the house loves that puppy and she cries to be in my grand daughter's room while she's at school. She will go in there and lay down by her shoes or a stuffed pet of hers. She waits at the top of the stairs when she comes from school around 330. Spring break next week so it will be some changes in her I know she loves attention. She's so little she can't get up or down the stairs! We haven't had her outside YET!

Fred!
