Ouch! My aching head! Every time I see a friend on Facebook mention their taxes now I feel a bit frantic.
My husband has long been my tax man. He has done them ever since we have been married. I did used to do them when I was single, when we were married it was something that he took on and has done ever since. He presents me with the forms and I sign them. We call it done!
This year being overseas it is a bit more difficult. My husband had long maintained that he intended to do at least our state taxes himself. He was a bit more intimidated with all the additional work that would be involved in the Federal taxes since we were now overseas. He received all the information with everything that he needed to do, logged in and fully intended to do his part on it. I did offer to do something, but he seemed determined to get it done himself so I just left it. Last week he asked me to do it by saying, "why haven't you done the taxes yet?" So, I reminded him that he wanted to do them but I told him that I would get them started. I looked at everything this weekend, logged into the site and then went into a bit of a panic. Our documents needed to be into the company by 5 MARCH! (It was 25 March) Well, we blew that deadline. I immediately, wrote in and asked them to file the papers for an extension.
The problem is further complicated that we have a very busy next few weeks coming up. We have some visitors coming in this week. The school will break on Friday for 3 weeks as it is in the end of term. After our visitors leave, we plan on making a trip north to visit York, Alnwick Castle (the castle used for Hogwarts in Harry Potter I&II), Edinburgh and then finish our trip at Centre Parcs where we will celebrate Cian's birthday!
So, I don't foresee that I will be able to have the tax documents uploaded to the tax preparation crew anytime soon.
Dear Mr. Taxman, I promise to pay you, soon. 'K Thanks. The Beary Family!
