Deep Breath

My agenda was to have lots of small tidy tidy items done for Easter.  Mission completion.

Today was my day to do our income tax.  I have used Tax Act successfully for quite a few years.  Everything was purring right along until the review.  I know that part of the social security income is taxable due to the fact that our legislature does not do their job.

When I saw that our social security income was listed at $88,000, making $34,000 of it taxable.  I dang near fell on the floor.  I wiped out all of the income information and started it over.  Same deal.  I then cleared all information and hand input all the info.  The same deal . . . of a huge error in their program.  That program error indicated that we owed the federal close to $4,000 plus having a penalty due to not estimating our taxes. 

I may try Turbo Tax or doing a paper return . . . after I settle down.

Dennis ran errands around town, being sure I would be finished when he was.  That’s how it should have been.  All paperwork was tucked away for another day.

I just need to breathe.

That is all I have to report.
