I think I might be quite pathetic. I have been DYING to get our taxes done. I am always so nervous to find out if we are going to have to pay/excited to get a refund. We have had some good years in the past but I changed my exemptions at work to try to offset that and I am scared we are going to have to pay. I haven’t gotten all of our W2s but I did have our check stubs at the end of the year and of course I already have all our itemized deductions all lined up. I pulled last year’s tax returns and figured what the heck, I’m going to figure this out. So, yes, people. I just spent an hour doing Federal form 1040 along with Schedule A–Itemized Deductions for fun. I think this ice here has frozen my brain. But really, the thing is, it wasn’t that hard. I finished and thought, hey, I could do our taxes, in fact, I just DID our federal taxes! Bad news is it looks like we won’t get a huge refund, good news is, it looks like we might break even. It hurt that we didn’t have Scott’s education credit (of course, we didn’t have to pay for his school this year either), we didn’t have our house taxes, our mortgage interest wasn’t as much and our gifts to charity were down. And for some odd reason, our income was about the same even though I cut my hours by about 25%. Of course now I REALLY want the taxes done just to see how close I am ;).
