Do you do your own taxes?

kittylover4ever · Feb 4, 2005

Susan and I were talking, and she told me that people over in the UK have thier taxes done for them by thier employers! I want to move to the UK!

Jerry and I are off to H & R Block to get ours done tonight! Who does yours?

But if i get the hand down job from my father i will never have to do taxes...

Currently we use the same accountant who handles our business paperwork, w-2's and such, just a whole lot simpler for us, IMO.

I do mine online at the Canadian government site. Its super easy, all you do is type in the numbers and it does everything for you

turtlecat · Feb 4, 2005

Ours are already done, and hopefully in the mail.

Jason did them.. NAd he's good, because we had 2 w2's a 1098, and a 1099-misc.

I make things difficult.

I don't blame you Cindy....sounds simple enough...

I got an estimate from the tax service places.. $150 I don't make that kind of money!!

I have every year except once...may have them done by someone this year too. I got married in July and I want to make sure the filing and possible write-offs don't get missed since we're expecting to get hit with that "penalty" of being married! We're going to try to do it online ourselves first and see if it looks okay. If not, we'll head off to H&R Block for some help.

Turbo Tax! Got them done now - almost. Still trying to figure out the moving expense thingie for moving for work. The company reimbursed for expenses (their reimbursement was tacked onto my salary) - and now I am trying to figure out what I can and cannot declare as a deductible moving expense. I don't want to move states anymore - I don't like having to do the normal two tax returns, now it is 3!

I remember the first year Jerry and I had our taxes done Joanne after we married. Hit us like a ton of bricks! They definitely penalize you for getting married, don't they?

We pay half the tax in germany once you get married

They penalize us Fwan because they combine your husbands and yours income and that puts you in a higher tax bracket.....it stinks!

fwan · Feb 4, 2005

eww not moving to america then

joanne511 · Feb 4, 2005

Yes, and I am not looking forward to it...even though the penalty has been "lessened", it's still going to be lousy!

jcat · Feb 4, 2005

Yes - that's on next week's "to do list", right after marking final exams. Just got the last document I needed today, so there's no putting it off.

Thank goodness my husband is a CPA. Ours are complicated due some stock that we own plus this year we have more forms due the LLC my husband started with 2 of his brothers on the land that we own. This yr we will be getting rent for the farm land and next yr we have to log its 8 or 12 acres so some income from that. None of this makes a difference as we always have to pay in to the Feds!!

rosiemac · Feb 4, 2005

As i was saying to Susie, if your self employed(Own your own business or work for yourself) you get an accountant to do it for you like my Director does because it's his business, but people like myself have their wages department do everything for them and forwards everything to the tax office.

I wouldn't know where to start if we had to do it!, so i feel it for you all

captiva · Feb 4, 2005

We do them the old fashioned way - by hand....

Do you do your own taxes?
