Figures…
Just when I said that I wasn’t eagerly awaiting my W-2 this year, I’ve already flip-flopped…
No, that’s an overstatement.
I received my W-2 from my employer today and it truly had me thinking about doing my taxes for the rest of the work day.
Of course, I haven’t purchased any tax software yet and I’m still waiting on a few 1099-MISC’s so I can’t really get going anyway buuuuuuuuut the juices are definitely flowing.
I’d be shocked if I make it through this weekend without installing TurboTax…
(Yes, I’m actually going to use the same product in consecutive years… Sorry TaxCut…)

Did you try the irs.gov website? They have a bunch of sites that you can go to and do your taxes for free. It’s worth a shot.

Hi Sabrina!
I have tried that in the past, as well as an honest attempt at doing my taxes on paper, but with so many 1099′s and the ownership of a business, I’ve found that the software packages out there are *totally* worth the costs involved.
I guess I’m not so much looking to save money, I’m more looking to make it as painless an experience as possible — while also ensuring a relatively high return… that I’m confident in.
