Subject: I did my part of getting the files and receipts together. Now just waiting for my DH to do his part. AT least our accountant can start on them.

[> I always struggled with (and swore at) the taxes myself, handwritten form, but when DH was so sick last year, I scraped everything together and sent him over to H&R Block with it. It was such a huge load off my shoulders that I did the same this year. My problem was figuring out what went where, on what form (pension? rental income?), so I was glad to dump that off to someone else! -- Deemus, 10:09:22 03/27/11 Sun [1]

[> [> I could never do the taxes on a paper form ever again - you find one extra receipt and it changes the numbers on 100 different forms in 1000 different places!! - Once I get all the info together I can knock the taxes out in a couple of hours on the computer - it's the paper gathering and the adding that takes time. -- chris k, 12:33:36 03/27/11 Sun [1]

[> [> [> Do you have special computer programs for this kind of that that allow you to file your taxes electronically? We have programs over here that you essentially have to feed your numbers into (it will give you options and tell you which numbers it wants next), then it puts it automatically in the right spaces on the forms and you can either submit it by e-mail or print it out and send it over. What kind of programs do you use? And do you have to pay your taxes at once at the end of the year, or do they get deducted automatically from your paycheck? -- Jam, 15:50:52 03/28/11 Mon [1]

Okay- if you are employed the employer automatically takes out some money toward your tax debt. How accurate that is depends on your lifestyle.

We get to make many many many deductions for all sorts of things, property taxes, interest payments,raising children, mileage driven, poverty level earnings, etc etc. There are dozens of different forms that can be used. One for general information, one for reporting dividend income, one for reporting rental property income, one for sole proprietorship business, another for automobile records for mileage deductions, etc etc etc.

To fill out all those- there are tax programs. As for where the numbers go - I put those in myself. after I've spent days adding receipts for sales tax, office supplies, repairs, business meals, etc etc etc.
