K so I’m an accountant so you’d think I’d’ve done my taxes months ago (last year, I did them in January.) I've even helped other people do theirs already. But not this year - not for me. Every four years, Z’s dad gets to claim him on his taxes. 2009 was the first time he’s been able to do that. Now, I did go in last year and adjustment my withholdings. But I was still really nervous about how it would all turn out.
When I started it out and uploaded my W-2’s, it said I owed… well… a buttload. I was horrified. But I worked through my adjustments and deductions… and well, just giving myself a pat on the back cuz I totally did it right! I am getting a modest refund – which is good cuz if you get to much, it’s a sign that you’re withholding too much… and basically loaning your money to the government interest free.
I think this is the longest I’ve ever waited to do my taxes but I’m just glad they’re done now and that I did them right. Next year will be a whole new adventure… going from being able to claim Z again, me, and now a husband and two step-daughters… can’t wait!P.S. I know this is not the most interesting topic... but then again... I'm an accountant. At least I didn't post something about, you know, governmental accounting standards...!

It was actually a very interesting post! Even if it was about the dreaded taxes! Good job doing it right and on time!!
It is pretty funny that posted on taxes, we did ours a while ago, but the really annoying stuff I am having with it right now, is that dad is still trying to claim me even though I already claimed myself, Dad never calls to catch up or see how we're doing, but when taxes come around, he is always calling! Fun stuff...
haha Whit - that made me laugh out loud! N then I had to tell my co-worker... good times!
