Why are you all so on the ball with your taxes?

CincyBuckeye · February 2011

I never do mine until April! You are making me feel negligent :P

b/c i am awesome.

and, b/c i need cash.

Ciconrad · February 2011

I'm a CPA and haven't even started. It'll be at least 3 weeks before I get around to it. We should be getting a sizeable return too.

I do mine the day before the deadline

bakedlaurabean · February 2011

I want my money!

DH has a snow day today and I told him he should work on our taxes. I'm really wondering what we are going to get back this year.

I just like to mentally cross them off of my to do list. Or his to do list, whatever.

We needed cash for bills and some spending money for DS's 1st birthday.

I was wondering if the States had some kind of different deadline then us. We are still waiting for all the paperwork we need! Here businesses don't have to have T4's and such out until the end of February, so most people can't even file until at the earliest middle of march.

Exactly!!

That and we're going for pre-approval soon (house buying) - they want current tax info and the extra $$ in savings won't hurt.

CincyBuckeye · February 2011

Well at least I am not the only one! I have to pay quarterly taxes and never get money back so I have no motivation to do them. And dhviel, the deadline is usually April 15.

amykins1283 · February 2011

We like to get our money back ASAP. DH does them as soon as we get our W-2's.

BBachmann · February 2011

Because it was our first year with a house and a child. It's exciting when you get money back.

lite-bright · February 2011

Because the sooner we do them, the sooner we get our return.

And both DH and I hate having them hanging over our heads. We're still waiting on one form for some freelance work I did last year, and it's irritating to have to wait on that one thing.

Plus, in years past at least, it seems like the earlier you file, the quicker yours gets processed b/c you're not part of the last-minute rush where everybody is filing at once and things slow way down.

BelhurstBride · February 2011

We haven't sent ours to our accountant yet. We usually owe, so we don't exactly get excited about tax time.

I thought I read somewhere that the federal gov't wasn't sending out refunds anytime soon, regardless of when you send your stuff in. I could be mistaken though...

PoseyMamma · February 2011

We always do our early. This year is mainly because my car is getting ready to die so I need a new one. So we are using some of that money to go towards me a new car.

soldiersgirl78 · February 2011

Because DH is obsessed lol. He starts playing around on H&R Block - the online tool - with estimates the day we get our last 2010 paystub. The day we get our W4s is the day we file. It's insane really.

bellabsmommy · February 2011

We file as soon as we get all our paper work, if not I will lose something. BTW whoever said refunds are taking a long time to be sent, ours was was deposited in our accound in 2 weeks.

xtencornfield · February 2011

We haven't filed ours yet. We'll owe a couple hundred dollars. We never get a big refund. I think the most we ever got back was $200 and usually we owe a little bit. But we prefer it that way.

mojito14 · February 2011

We get pretty big return, but this year we have just been sooo busy and trying to find a date that we can both be free is almost impossible. We will be getting them done the 2nd week of March. We have to travel to see our CPA (3 hour drive), but we visit with family and friends while we are there.
