It's That Time of Year: Tax Time!
As it nears the end of January, I begin my yearly routine of tax preparation. I would be able to prepare my taxes at this point, but I have yet to receive my W2 statement from my employer. Figures. I have received my 1098's from my student loan and mortgage companies, my 1098's from my investment accounts, and my 1099's from other ventures - but still nothing from my employer!
Regardless, I have come to rely on H&R Block's Taxcut package for my tax preparation. Not only do I find it very cost effective, but also useful, quick, and accurate. I am sure that someone somewhere will disagree with me - suggesting that another package or a CPA could find more deductions. While this may be slightly true in some cases, I do not want to invest extra time and / or in what could be considered questionable accounting practices. I prefer to understand my taxes. I do not feel like being audited because I 'donated' $500 worth of clothing. I like being honest, even though paying taxes sucks.
