Taxes.
This one single word is an instant stress-bringer.
Every office job I had, working on the taxes, whether gathering the information to be used in the preparation, or actually filling out forms, was always a little bit scary. Maybe it's because there's so much on the line. If you make a mistake, it could be very problematic later on. I did have two stints working at H & R Block, and that helped me see it all in black and white, understanding how the whole system works. But still, when it's MY taxes, it's personal.
So. We're done. For one more year, I can breathe until it's time to do it again. Did I remember all the things to claim? Do I have this receipt, that bill, that form? Can I claim this thing this year? Ugh.
Not one of my favorite activities. Not at all.

God love ya! I think my biggest issue, if i had to do them, would be that I'd be AFRAID to take deductions...I'd be like "No--I can't have that--that's too much money"
It's that Catholic School thing--the feeling guilty about having something good, or feeling guilty when you're not even doing anything.
Sigh.
I can't get rid of it, and I wind up screwing myself something fierce a lot of the time.
Turbotax...the greatest invention. We had our taxes done by Feb 4, and our refund was deposited on Feb 20. Once you do it one year, you transfer all the information for the next years. It is so easy and it won't get you into trouble. We have been using it for 7 years now, LOVE IT!!
