That dreaded day is on the horizon. Words like “deadline” and “final” coupled with phrases like “last chance” come to the forefront of your already packed stress level. A friend has been in tears, twice this week about the innocent mistake we have all made filling out the employment form. Seems strange to claim ZERO…but..what about me? Well…(something we can all take into the next election) you..yes, YOU…are ZERO! If you claim yourself as one….oh ho ho ho no sir or maam…you are ZERO. Filing taxes is not the issue, the issue is how monumentally difficult it is to do so. This year, I am single, no house, not self employed, no “issues” that could make my filing difficult. Next year, however, things are going to change. I can’t just download the latest version of my favorite tax software and be done with it in fifteen minutes. I have other income, I might be buying a house…I have a lot of stuff happening this year, and even more next! I guess it is just frustrating how everything else in life is working toward being easier, but the one thing we all dread isn’t changing, at all. Taxes should be the easiest transaction we do all year, especially being that they are the most aggravating. #profit #nothingbutanumber
