Mmmm TAXES. Wanted to share a couple things for folks that read this:
First off, I can’t recommend using TurboTax’s online filing. They got all the numbers right but they charge a lot more for filing your state taxes compared to others ($27.95 compared to H&R’s $9.95 for example) and they wanted to e-file my Fed return despite the fact that I know I’m not eligible for it–I would have had to file it again after the Fed rejected it. And they tend to oppose tax reform that might cut into their profits.
Second, I’m more than happy to sit down with any of you and help you file your taxes if you aren’t sure what you’re doing. I’m far from a tax expert but I can probably prevent most mistakes. Feeding me during the process makes for more than adequate compensation if you’re one of those people that don’t like asking for favors.
Lastly, tax credits are awesome. I had about $250 withheld from my paychecks for all of 2009 and my refund is still over $1900. This home ownership thing is working out pretty well.
