I had to do three sets of federal and state taxes - mine,my ex's, and my daughter's. I told them next year I'm going to sit them down in front of the computer and show them how to do it for themselves. Either that, or I'm going to start charging. ;) I used H&R Block’s TaxCut this year also. I had to do three sets of federal and state taxes – mine,my ex’s, and my daughter’s.

I did the form that I get with my W2 and I have to take out more money each money. It seemed a little high, so I decided to cut that down by 50%. But still.... And paying someone else to do my taxes? No way. I have more time then money. So how does one prepare for next years tax bill? I did the form that I get with my W2 and I have to take out more money each money.

That way if you do make a mistake, you won't be hit with penalties and interest if you owe more than you thought. Plus now you know you owed $900 last year, but it's already 4 months into 2007 for you to make adjustments to your withholdings, etc. I never understood why people wait until April to file (let alone April 14 at 11pm - TurboTax online filers got a reality check this year).

I've used TurboTax online for the last few years, but this year my husband and I decided to let a professional do our taxes for us. The whole thing took about twenty minutes (we didn't even have to wait to get in, despite not having an appointment), and was so stress-free that it was totally worth the fee, even if we didn't get a pretty decent refund. We'll probably be letting that firm do our taxes from now on. Congrats on getting them done and out of the way for another year.

Our bill this year was painful, a couple grand. Thankfully we sort of realized this was going to be the case late last year so we had a few months to set aside the money. We should be all set for next year as well so that this doesn't happen again, and I'm leaning towards having an accountant handle 2007. Too much stuff going on for me to keep track of.

Send me an email sometime and we can discuss.
