Re: Anybody gotten their taxes done yet?

I just handed  mine over today to our friend, accountant, neighbor.... Pays to live rural where you know everyone and we help each other out for a fair price.

I get small quarterly disbursements from my grandfather's estate...can't file till I get the paperwork for that from my aunt (executor). Should be soon, then off to see the accountants!

No. Wait till the last minute. Want to keep our money as long as possible.

Re: Anybody gotten their taxes done yet?

@gidgetghI end up filing for an extension fairly often -  for me, it's a function of some pieces of information not coming in until late or being corrected by a company at the last minute or just that I'm in Florida and my accountant is in NY and I want a face-to-face with her before I file.

 

The worst part is that extensions just extend the time the file is open and I have to think about it.  The process is very easy - but do remember to estimate anything you might owe at the time you file for extension.  I often add a few dollars -  they come back if I overpay.  No big deal since money in the bank isn't earning as much as the penalty would be!

 

Sorry you have all this to deal with -  it's certainly not fun!

Submitted mine on Sunday night. One was deposited today. One is being processed.

No.  I used to do them myself but DH and I formed a company for our rental houses so a return has to be done for that, plus our personal return.  I'm not comfortable doing the company return so now we'll be using an accountant.

 

We deal with accountants at work all the time and they are all swamped busy. They are nearly impossible to get ahold of for anything now.   

 

ETA:  Just realized in reading this thread that we don't have all 1099's either.  DH is in a band and for some of the gigs he gets a 1099 and in the past those haven't come until well into March.

No, still waiting on some documents.  We don't usually file until middle to late March.

Yes.

 

We go to IRS.gov website and do on-line for free.  

 

Not a lot of deductions so ours is simple!
