That's great that you found it Tink! Boy did you save yourself some tedious work.

I also would forget about that deduction. The less you have to do with negative people in your life, the better off you are. That's why I decided not to appeal that traffic ticket, and I'm much happier with it off my mind.

That's why i always have my account do mine, there is so much we claim, we both claim work clothes, work tools, milege, etc. i don't want the responsibility of screwing it up.... it will fall back on my accountant.. i'll gladly pay the extra money for him...

I hope that you're able to get it straightened out soon, Tink. I'm glad that you were able to find the papers that you needed too. I just hate misplacing stuff. It drives me crazy!!

We have to have an accountant do our taxes. Farming is too complicated for us to try and figure everything out. I'm like Marilyn. I just sign where I'm told to sign.

I have an appointment on Monday. I have no idea how much I got this year. I got all kinds of papers for some reason. I do hope I don't owe! I'll pay it out if I do.

Amen!! My hubby has been self employed forever and we learned long ago that they know much better than we do what and how to do it. It costs to use an accountant, but they pay for themselves because they know what they are doing and reduce the amount of tax we pay.

People think since I'm and engineer and good at math I should be able to do accounting, no problem. Totally different kind of math. I do enough number crunching in sales. When I get home I hate to do anything that has to do with numbers. "Just sign here" is sooooo liberating.
