Senseless Sunday Sarcasm: Taxes
Yep. It’s time to get my receipts together again.
So far, I’m only missing 2 phone bills, 2 electric bills, and I’ve sorted them by type. That’s the first step before entering them into a spreadsheet. Next on the list? Health care, Rx, home and car insurance, work expenses…
Every year I say, “I need to sort these out before tax time.”
Last year, I did open 3/4ths of the envelopes on the day I received them. My finger aren’t as sore this time. The good news? I didn’t get blood on any of the bills this year.
Yes, I’ve had letter openers before. When I can find them again, I’ll let you know.
Every year I say, “Why do I bother?”
I’m a self-employed subcontractor and I have to itemize everything. After I itemize, it’s never over the allowable deductions.
In two and a half word: I’m screwed.
Did I mention the $200 I have to spend on a tax accountant that ALWAYS files my taxes in July? Or that every year I have late penalty even though I get my itemized spreadsheet to him in March?
I’d retire, but I love my job. I can’t imagine being home all day without having an anxiety attack every month over getting the reports out before there’s pay-back. I wouldn’t know what to do with all that free time and no money to spend spend on luxuries like food.
Next year, I might have all the envelopes opened first.
Considering the fact that I’ve been doing it this way since 1997, that’s progress.
Progress 😅😅. These taxes 😅 not sure whether to laugh or keep my face serious ☺️ Tax is not a word, it’s an emotion 😎
