Busy day ...

House dusted .... check
Treadmill cleaned and oiled ... check
Taxes filed (state and govt) ... check

Only things left ...

Laundry (which I can't do until my mom is done with hers)
Vacuuming (because the cat is asleep in the middle of the floor)

The most thrilling part of the day.


TAXES. DONE. FILED. OVER WITH.
Nothing owed to anyone, and a bit of a refund coming back to me.

I filed my taxes this week too. Got a bit of a refund which was much better than owing a ton of money like last year because my company screwed up my W4 and I had no idea. Nice to have that done and out of the way.

I agree. I told my coworkers I was going them this weekend and if I was getting a refund I'd file if I owed I was going to ignore them till April 15th.

How can you have your taxes done ALREADY? I don't even have all my slips yet! Yours are due April 15th, aren't they? Ours are due April 30th, so not much different. Anyone who issues tax slips has until February 29th to get them to us.

You are boggling my mind here...O_o

Here they have till jan 31st to get things to us. I only have 2 forms that I needed and I got my second one yesterday. My taxes are super easy since I don't own a home or have an investiment portfolio or anyyhing.

Wow, they don't get much time to process the slips, do they? Here companies have a whole extra month!

[whiteink]

Nope. 31 days. But it's so electronic that it shouldn't be to hard.

Well, I have to do T4's (our equivalent of a W5 - I think that's what you call it?) for our church employees, and even though we can file them online now, I still have to manually reconcile all the income and deductions to make sure I took the right amounts off. If there's any discrepancy it has to be settled when I file the forms with the government. So, I'm rather glad of the extra month. It just wasn't worth paying an extra $150 per year for the payroll software for 2 employees. :P

I THINK I have all my forms.. I think.. got the ones for the survivors benefits, and one from my work.. now the issue is finding all my paystubs for the year.. since I suck at keeping those in one place.. I might have to go down to the office and have them print me my monthly reports to get the amounts.. Ahhh the life of the independent contractor.. Taxes are a bitch for me, but usually result in a hefty return because I have children.

I figured I may as well get it done.

Our taxes are complicated so we have an accountant do them. I try to have all the paperwork to her by 02/01/12 (I am right on schedule). She usually has them done within a week and everything is filed electronically.

That's what my parents were like until they retired ... now theirs are pretty easy. One day when I get a "real" life ... I'm sure that'll be be me. Until then, I'll enjoy the easiness.

The cats sleeping in funny places in the No.1 reason we don't vacum as often as we should.

Well done of the taxes.

[whiteink]

She slept there for 4 hours. Upon waking up she went into another room, jumped on my dad's lap and went back to sleep.

And all this talk about tax has inspired a fic, god my muse is hyper today.
