Do you have your taxes done yet?

I am actually the type of person who does my taxes as soon as I get my W-2s. I like knowing that if I am needing to pay any taxes that I have enough time to get those funds together; or I also like to get my refund early enough to be able to do something good with it. I am still a college student, so I am usually entitled to big refunds, which either go to school expenses or some other kind of bill or expense. I don't think I have ever waited until April... except for state taxes this year, because I had to go through the process of getting my CSN from the state to file online.

My husband and I finished our taxes early this year, which is the first time for me. In the past couple of years, I had to file extensions to get them done by July. But, this year, I was able to do the e-file w/ standard deductions all applied, so I didn't have to go through calculating every step. It was so much easier. I thank my husband for showing me this site. (We only got married 3 1/2 months ago, so this is the first time we've done taxes together.)

Every year we plan to do ours early, and every year something comes up to prevent it. However, we did get them done last week. We go to a professional because there are some really nice people at the office there, and it's just easier and less stressful for us in the long run, even if it is expensive. And we got a coupon through the "discount center" of the company I work for, so it wasn't even really that expensive. Ever since last Thursday, I've been thinking "Gonna get the refund soon" and I check the account for it every day even though I know it's too early to expect it. Maybe it'll come tomorrow though! lol

good thing with our company. we don't have to worry about taxes. they file are taxe returns for us! Ü
