I just filed my e-filed my taxes. Usually I get the booklets and papers and happily do them myself. But I decided to e-file this year. After I completed my taxes myself, I went to the site, filled in the blanks and watched as the computer figured it up for me. The computer figured 1700 more to be returned to me than I had. I can't help but look back and wonder over all these years, was I doing them wrong? If the computer program is correct, I know I claimed too much income last year. What a bummer!
On the other hand, what a delight. This simple program was so quick and easy and found me more money! Awesome!
Of course my delight at being able to do my own taxes has been reduced. Obviously, I was doing them wrong. I wonder what else I am figuring wrong. Can this translate to life itself? I hope not. I do tend to think I right most of the time. Doesn't everyone?

ReplyDeleteMake that I "AM" right. Oh gosh, LOL.
OH. Actually when I figured the taxes the first time, it was using Tierney as a dependent. But Brian is going to claim Tierney, which is fine, she splits her time between us. But my refund would have been about 3200 MORE than I figured on my own if I had claimed her. I guess there are just too many credits and different things for a layman like me to keep on top of.
