Tax Time 2009, Part 2
Apr

2009
I usually try to file my taxes in the middle part of the tax season, sometime between late February and mid March. I don’t want the stress of last-second tax filing. This year, due to several factors such as a new baby, this blog, and other projects, I found it was late March before I began doing my taxes.
My normal method is to start my taxes when I get my W-2, in early February. I do most of it then, let it sit for a week or two, and then finish it. I find that if I forget about it for that week or two, then it is easier to see things I missed or did wrong the first time.
My goal this year, after starting late, was to finish them while it was still March. I saw I should be getting a refund, so I wanted to get that sooner rather than later. Next year, I hope to owe a little bit, so I may plan to finish the taxes in March, but not file until April.
Anyway, it wasn’t until April 1st that I found the last two documents that I needed. I thought that was an appropriate day to file the returns, as I could them make some comment about how the government tax policy is a joke or something. I clicked the e-file button at about 5 minutes to midnight. Being on dial-up, my computer took 6 minutes to file. So my taxes were officially submitted at 12:01 on April 2nd. Rats.
“God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. ”
