I did them! I thought I wouldn't be able to since math and complicated things are a big problem but with turbo tax from last year, it was so easy. I had kept track of all my medical expenses (extremely tedious as there were 76 MD appts/tests last year). Had the mileage and everything. I knew it would be more than 10% of my AGI and it was, but I didn't account for the fact the standard deduction may still be the better way to go. and it was, by ten whole dollars, lol. For the first time ever, I owe and I could not stand waiting til the end of March when I meet with a free tax preparer to find out how much, so I woke up early and did them. I'm pretty sure I did them right, I e-filed and paid what I owed. So it's done, even though I had to pay for the program. I'll sleep better knowing my debt is paid. I can't believe I did them (even though Turbo Tax did the hard work)!

Nice!

Taxes always freak me out. I hire a republican to do mine.

believe me, if I could do them, a monkey could, at least a monkey in my tax bracket
