Tonight, the missus is off with her Corgi puppy to training class. This means that Ace and I are home alone until she gets back around 8:30. Not much time to do much at all, really. Watch a little TV, maybe play a video game. Probably should be working on my writing. My missus would like it if I got started on our taxes. I hate doing taxes. I did them for years as a CPA and never liked it. Now, the only taxes I do are mine. And I still hate doing them. I am watching another episode of Britannia right now. Later, I may play my video game. The chances of me getting any taxes done are low.

The good news is it took me about 20 minutes to get my taxes done. The bad news is that I owed $24.

@DWDavis — my taxes were simple until I bought my house. Now that it’s paid off, they’re simple again.

Ours takes a little longer than that due to my business and other forms we have to fill out.

Pleased to say that is something I don't have to do over here!

I wish we could find a better way, but the tax code lets the government do all kinds of social engineering plus lets the politicians reward their campaign donors and punish their opponents.

@DWDavis Basically the same over here. They all have the same tricks!

You know if you knocked them out the moment tax seasons opens, it's done, you get your return, and everything's good to go.

Unfortunately, I have to wait for certain forms to arrive from different sources because of our mortgage and various other things.

Normally, it would be a relaxing time. Not last night, thanks to working on our taxes.

Take the night off. The taxes can wait. Lucky you can do them yourself

12 years as a CPA means I don't have a good excuse for having someone else do them.

We tend to put off doing things we are not too comfortable doing. Enjoy your show - tomorrow might be a better day to tackle the taxes.

I'm so happy that in TX I don't have to file a tax return on my SS benefits.

I can't think of anyone who enjoys doing their taxes.

I hate doing taxes. When I was still married, the ex did them until we had to go to long form. He knew how, he had a master's in finance and was perfectly capable. When he did taxes he turned in to a monster. He yelled and screamed and cursed at receipts, us, anyone within earshot. The last time I was around when he did taxes, I took the kids and went away for the weekend. It was a lot more peaceful. When we came home, he had taken all the tax stuff to a tax guy and said he was done doing them. I think taxes takes a special kind of patience that many people just don't have.
