Slowly returning to normal
I haven't been on line much lately--Bronchitis, dehydration, and 3 days in the hospital will do that to you. Then--today was tax day. I always have a problem making myself get started on taxes, but normally, once I kick myself in the butt and get started things go reasonably smoothly. This year, however, I just could NOT get going. And when I did, I could not FIND some of the stuff I needed. When I clicked on the "file for an extension" button, I discovered that yes, they will give you an extension of time to file, provided that you have paid any taxes that you owe. Now if you know what taxes you owe, why would you need an extension?
Anyway, I DID file the tax forms. I strongly suspect that not all the data is correct, but I did what I could with what I had. And I realized later that I had missed a fairly major charitable deduction. Well, If the Feds bounce the forms for correction, I'll have to file an amended return anyway, so I'll worry about it then. But I'll TRY to have things in better order next year. At least I should be getting a fairly substantial refund.
