Yesterday I got the last of our tax information in the mail, so finished up
our taxes. By this morning I have received notice that they have been
accepted for the Federal and State income divisions.
So, I’m done with it for the year.
Yay!

They finally came out with the updated tax credits so I could finish our taxes.
Apparently even having the car rated the best milage in the US last year is not enough to get the “High milage vehicle” credit. It has to be all electric or similar.

But, my checking to see if it qualified marked me down for having one, and it took me more than an hour to get that back off the form.

The good thing for me, if not others, is a bunch of other folks had the same problem so there were lots of suggestions on how to fix it on line.

Now they’re done and in. I just have to wait and see if I’m audited for losing so much money on the sword troupe last year. But, three of our major venues either closed or did not rehire us. What can you do?

Being snowed in today, I decided to work on our taxes.
But, I can't finish them.
The government can't decide how much I should owe for last year.
They also say they will give me a credit for a hybrid car, but they can't decide how much.
Hope they decide soon...

The IRS tells me I estimated my taxes wrong and owe them more.
The good news is it isn't a whole lot more.
But, it is still annoying.
At least is isn't an audit...

Not only are my taxes for 2009 done, but I've finished the quarterly ones for being a contractor the first 1/4 of the year.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like government services. But, they're big checks and watching my account balance drop that much gives me a queazy feeling.

My taxes are done and in for last year.
I remember the days I could do it all on an EZ form in 1/2 hour.
Now I've got the software for the two different companies. (Phoenix and my consulting.)
No way can I plow through that without help.
Hopefully it is all correct. I think so.

I'm not sure if I should be amused or disturbed that when you finish your taxes TurboTax comes up with a little button that says "brag about it on facebook."
But, I pushed the button...

The down side to being a consultant is no one removes the taxes from your paycheck. So, once a quarter you have to do it yourself and send it on in.
And, being self employed you actually pay more taxes as you have to pay your own social security and the employer share as well. I know when I do the end of year ones I can deduct that. But, that's not the same as getting it back.
I don't object to paying taxes. I like the services the government provides.
But, those were big numbers on that check...

( Not that anyone I know has died recently. But, working on those taxes makes consider options... )

( I've never had the hang of Thursday )
