I have less than a month
now before taxes are due. I know I've whined about this before but
this is an area of life that have little experience with except
tension and stress. Seriously, the only income I have is Social
Security and a little bit I get from the state government pension which is
very little monthly yet I am nearly paralyzed with stress in getting
these taxes completed. I have gotten, I think, most of the paperwork
from the sources for the money comes from and now I just have to
figure out what forms goes where.
I washed to loads of
clothes, washed a load of dishes in the dishwasher, cooked breakfast
and washed the dishes and am toying with the idea of hanging the last
bath of clothes that I washed yesterday afternoon. You see the
pattern? Classic avoidance behavior. I am doing everything in my power
to circumvent having to focus on my taxes. Two weeks ago in a sudden
rash of adulthood I actually convinced myself I could do these taxes
and I can do these taxes online. I mean millions of people do this
every year I should be able to do this without issue. So I opened up
an account on this tax website before I had all the stuff I needed
and have that done anything since. Now, the account is haunting me
and will not let me be on my computer without hounding me about completing my tax
information and sending the information off.
I cannot believe how many
people have their taxes done for them by other people, who are tax
professionals or parents, brothers or sisters or spouses who knows
what they're doing. But mostly tax professionals. My cleaning lady
told me that she and her husband have a tax professional and last
year got them back $13,000! Her husband, I think, owns a construction
group and she of course has a little cleaning business but they must
be making kick ass money. Some people, old people, but some of the
folks who live here feel they don't make enough money to pay taxes so
they don't! Don't you have to file even if you don't make any money?
There is even a perpetual rumor that if you are person with a
disability you enjoy a “special” tax bracket. But working at
the Independent living Center with a lot of other folks with
disabilities similar to mine these guys use this special deduction,
every year and would always bring them a load of money back on the
refund. The one time I tried this I got penalized, and then when I
consider this the next year and I read the qualifications to use this
production I didn't fit any of them. And that pretty much made the
same amount of money that the other members of the staff that nothing
ever happened of them. Dianne and I finally just accepted that we
would pay and then just paid our regular tax. Still, I have a pile of
questions bazillion questions that I need to have answered. I keep
thinking ' well, today is nearly done a jump on it tomorrow, the
first of the week'. This is obvious stinking thinking. I wanted to
another crypt to quote, or do some shopping on Amazon or maybe going
up to see what Red box as to offer your even just Amazon itself and
then do movies until bedtime. Obviously, I'm not healthy. I've got
ready for the tax-man.
