I Started My Taxes Already

[canyonwalker]

This past weekend I worked a bit on my taxes. I'd say I started my taxes already except that that's a misleading statement. I actually started them a year ago. I start keeping records for the tax year starting on January 1. Usually by now I have most of my 1099s for the previous year and start working on my tax filing, but this year some of them are a little slow. Thus this weekend I spent some time combing through one of the 1099s and comparing it to my own records— I found a mistake in my records!— but I did not start entering data into TurboTax yet.

Ah, TurboTax. The software I have an abusive relationship with.



Maybe next weekend? Oh, but it's a holiday weekend and I might be traveling. Plus I don't know when those other 1099s will come in. Maybe the weekend of Feb 24-25. I'll probably have been slapped around at work a bunch by then and will be ready to be slapped around by tax software.
