It's the most wonderful time of the year! No it's not Christmas in February or even back to school time yet. It's tax season!
Since Sam has been gone for the last two tax filings. I got nicely acquainted with turbo tax and our w-2s. The First year I did it own my own was difficult, the program asked for pins and numbers set the previous year. It took some time searching in the little plastic filing cabinet, where we keep all important documents, but I found and organized all the tax paper work from years past. Therefore the next year when Sam was off supporting the war from space, I confidently filed the taxes again. There was a small hick up that year, it had me watching out the window for IRS for a few days. But, since they never showed up I thought it was best to keep that to myself.
So this year when tax season came back around I was excited to bring out the trusty filing cabinet and show Sam how efficient I now am at filing the taxes. It turns out all I got to show him was how well paper clipped the last two years where, I'm sure he was impressed. After about an hour of work, in which time I did notice him admiring the blue paper clip I used last year, Sam announced we would be receiving money back. We were not expecting much of a refund since Sam was working out of the country half the year and wasn't paying taxes, so this was a happy surprise. We immediately started planning our spending, after all isn't that was the president wants us to do with our refund? Sam mentioned a new T.V. and I started dreaming of some place warm and tropical. Then reality hit us both, we still have school loans to pay. O- Well having money was fun while it lasted.
