Dreaded “T” Day.
That’s right. “T” Day. For those that don’t know, that’s Tax Day. ![]()
So, I had been putting off filing my taxes since early February. I know, I know. But see, it’s a matter of being annoyed. I find it very frusterating that I always…. always, end up owing State Tax. It makes no sense what.so.ever.! — I pay state tax ALL year long, sales tax, etc. Also, they deduct State Tax from my paycheck. So, it is not logical to ME that I have to pay….. MORE at the end of the year. What benefit am I getting? None that I can see. I have no children in school — our roads have been ‘construction zones’ since I was born — Nothing is getting any cheaper. The other reason I had been putting it off, is that I like to file electronically. And using some place like TurboTax usually can be costly (Around $49.95 for Federal and $29.95 for State). Occasionally they have a sale.. but, I always seem to miss those. So, I put off searching for something cheaper.. or hey.. even free. Tonight, I finally remembered a site that I heard on the TV and the radio… it’s called TaxAct. I was able to figure and file both my Federal & State returns for only $15.95!! I was so happy. Of course — that owing state thing sucked my joy right out of my lil heart.
I’m thinking it may be time to pack up things and MOVE! I know other states do not have state taxes.
