Every time I plan to finally get started on the Taxes something comes up, so today I am determined. Before the day is out My Son’s taxes will at least be finished and I will work on the initial hit on my own.
Of course this year I’m likely going to owe for the first time ever so that might have something to do with it.
Although I am a “tech guy” I absolutely refuse to do my taxes online or via a program. I much rather have paper and pencil. It’s a lot harder to copy and paste sheets of paper than a data file.
One other oddity I have at taxtime is letting them sit. Once I finish my taxes and double check them I always let them sit for a week. You’d be surprised how many thing pop into your head after the fact. Giving your brain that week of rest really makes a difference.
