Taxes

Ugh. I hate to do taxes. Figures do not come naturally for me, nor do I enjoy hunting down forms. It hurts my brain to consider whether this rule applies or that rule. Can I deduct x or should I take y? Phoo. But there is no avoiding this task, so I set aside the day to dig in and focus.

Thank goodness for Turbo Tax that asks you the questions. Once I have answered them to the best of my ability, then all I need do is answer the next screen and the next and the next. It takes hours to sort through all the expediencies and I don't even itemize. Not worth it for me. But after persevering, I come at long last to the final screen. Once I push the Finish button, it will all be over.

I hesitate momentarily. It seems so final, so legally implicating. I would never intentionally misrepresent my situation, but in this area I am out of my league and I realize I could in fact do something wrong. Even though I have been filling out these forms for years, it remains a jungle of confusion and complexity to me. Ah, well. I have done the best I know how using the best tools available.

I can do no more than trust that all will be well. Click!
