I haven't posted in a few days...so just an up-date:

Joss gave a brief interview at the premier of Slither about Wonder Woman, Serenity, and Goners... (thanks to Robert for the link!)

I met some wonderful people from the San Francisco Browncoats yesterday at a cute little cafe in downtown SF... it is a once a month thing which I will definitely keep

I'm so happy you had a good time. Sounds like fun, meeting people once a month.

I did my taxes too. I'm confused though. I did it on Turbo Tax and I've got some voucher thing I have to send in, then it has my first quarterly payment being due on April 17!

WTF?

I can't pay one amount on the 15th then send in another huge amount two days later!

But my friend told me that since I was going to start working full-time in May, I won't have to pay the quarterly taxes anymore.

I'm thinking of just paying my "what you owe" amount and just leaving the quarterly payment.

I'll be making tax payments from now on anyway.

Why do taxes have to be so confusing?

yeah, the first quarter of you estimated 2006 tax is due right after the taxes you have to pay for 2005....
BUT your friend is right: since you'll be full time from May on then you'll have your taxes withheld from your payroll check, right? So you shouldn't have to pay estimated quarterly withholding....
But just don't forget that you'll owe for your independent contracting for those first four months (Jan-April) of 2005, so you had better make sure you set aside the money for that (you don't want to forget and have it be a big scary surprise when you have to pay it out next year).

Taxes are a bitch.

Okay cool. She explained it to me and I thought huh? It does make sense though. And yes, I'll be getting my taxes taken care of on each check.

I'm hoping That next year I won't have to pay too much. I should be okay though.
