I dunno why, but with taxes I just don't like doing them and generally wait until the last minute to get them done.
Actually that is good for the IRS> Last minute filers have a greater chance of ommitting a valid deduction. Valid deduction is one that is allowed and for which you have supporting documentation. If you itemize, you can deduct mileage to and from a charity where you donate time. But you have to keep complete travel and mileage records.
School teachers for example can deduct non reimbursed employee business expenses #2106. (the extent to which they exceed 2% of AGI)
The IRS disallows deductions which don't have proof. I also know some folks claim to be audited and drag a shoe box into the IRS office when audited. The IRS also requires keeping complete and accurate records which means organized.

I used to be reeeeally bad. I mean years late. I'd file the extension, and the extra extension, then it would sit. And sit. I actually had an IRS agent come to my house. Not kidding.
I am reformed!

So I'm a procrastinator ... on taxes. I hate filing taxes. Hate having to sit on the computer looking at the numbers, trying to figure out why I'm either owing money or getting very little back in comparison to others.
*sigh* So last night I completed my federal taxes and nearly shot my computer. Uncle Sam says I owe $635. Unbelievable. I don't have it, wasn't expecting to have to pay anything. Guess I'll have to call the tax man and see what we can work out.
I just can't believe I owe. Here people who made more than I did are getting between $500 to over $1,000 in refunds ... plus they received that stimulus check back in June ... yet I'm owing $635, and I didn't get the stimulus check because it went to my stupid school loan.
Just a little frustrated here on tax day.
File anyways, I believe they can work out a payment schedule but you have to file to avoid penalties.
BTW I am on disability but I have other income from interest and farm properties. It does not add up to much though. The sad part is it's rather confusing to do all that, it's not just a 1040, so I go to a tax guy. I paid $170 dollars to find out I owe the IRS $6 dollars but will be getting a state tax refund of $1 and you can be sure I am making them pay me :-)

That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
Ferd, that is true if the 16th ammendment passed!
There is serious doubt it did!
BTW, my health ain't to bad thanks, except for a few aches & pains.
How is Jack doing?
You, your son & family are often in my prayers!
Can you give me some Cliff's notes here? I do not, not, not have time to watch this video right now (I'm writing a paper as I post here...) but seriously...do you even understand the ratification process? I'm really trying to figure out how something can be ratified but not ratified if you get what I'm saying. Explain...
