Taxes Complete

I took the bull by the horns and did my taxes myself, through TurboTax. I really thought I would need to have someone else do them for me, but such was not the case. TurboTax is easy to use and walks you through every step. With what I received last year, I did end up owing, but not nearly as much as I expected, so that's the good thing. I also paid it right away instead of waiting, so I don't have any worries regarding taxes. So that's a load off my mind. If you live in the US have you done your taxes yet? Thanks for reading.

Glad to hear you didn't owe much. I don't do taxes anymore. Am on SSI. I always had H&R Block do them. I got my money fast and never had any issues. To me it was well worth it.

@just4him ......I used to do my own every year until my depression made my concentration such that it just because a horrible hassle for me. Sounds like your husband was really paying attention.

When I was first married we went to H&R Block, but when they got expensive, I started doing them myself. It was in looking over those forms from H&R Block those many years ago that I realized my husband had no idea how to spell his daughter's name.

You can still call your employer and make certain they have your current address so you can get it. If you have the number contact HR.

In Canada we have to file our taxes by the end of April also. I did mine today. I owe a very small amount so that is good. At least I don't owe them too much. I use Simple Tax and it is so easy to do.

When I went onto the IRS website there were many programs to choose from, that was one of them. I'm glad it was easy and you don't owe much.

No, I don't do them. We leave Florida to specifically see our accountant. You must feel so relieved. We have to pay four times a year. Not fun.

I've done them myself for many years. The thought of paying someone to do them, just didn't sit right with me. I just gathered all the documents and went online to the program I've been using and got them done.

I have an appointment with my accountant when I get back from Florida. I still use him since we have a little more complicated filing.
