Tax Disclosure Statement
i did my taxes last night at the very last minute, electronically. i have to give a ringing endorsement to the TurboTax online system, which is available through Yahoo! My taxes aren't overly complicated, but there were a few wrinkles last year, which made it impossible for me to file using the EZ form. Rather than strugle with the 1040, i just answered the very simple questions on TurboTax and it was a snap. Usually i have to race down to the main post office to mail my return before midnight, but this year i didn't even have to leave my desk. Add to that, the fact that i got a refund when last year i had to pay, and you can see why i'm a happy camper.

I hate to burst your bubble, but unless you got back every dime withheld throughout the year - you paid.
Keep in mind that the operative word in your last sentence is "refund." When you go to the store and hand the clerk a $20 for a soda what you get back isn't a gift it's change.

I was going to use TurboTax again this year. Used it to do my 2002 taxes and it only cost me about $19.95. This year, they wanted $39.95 PLUS another $29.95 to file my state return. I wound up using TaxSlayer and they filed both returns for only $9.95.
I'm guessing next year 'slayer will want to rob me blind as well, so I'll have to find another "low introductory rate" from yet another company...
BTW, I'm getting a federal "refund" as well, but I'm guessing that this single, white male sent about $3500 to Iraq during 2003. (And it was worth every penny to see the look on Saddam's face when he was in U.S. custody...)
