Tax Time Again?

Posted on January 24, 2008 - Filed Under Business |

This is national “Prepare for Taxes” week.  Didn’t know that?  Probably because I just made it up.

Picking through all the mail from my vacation, a letter from Tax-man was waiting for me.  It always surprises me how he keeps up with my addresses.  I certainly don’t tell him where I live.

As usual, I look forward to doing my taxes.  Actually I look forward to Tax-Man doing my taxes while I sit and dream about a fat pay-day.  By having two properties, I wouldn’t be surprised if I received a full refund (ie paid no taxes).

Buried in my stack of mail: four letters from Wells Fargo.  I have all my tax information from them.  Printing online to get my INGDirect account, Bank Statements, Ameritrade Account . . . it’s almost too easy.

I’m thinking this refund already has a home.  The houses need to be painted.  All over.  That will definitely improve curb-appeal.  And the picky tenants up front will definitely be slightly happier.

For those that recently joined us: I’m one of those freaks who enjoys getting their taxes done.

    Hi Clifford–

    I have been reading through your archives — they have been very inspirational, as I am a Rich Dad follower as well.

    I wanted to let you know that reading your blog today has inspired me to action — and I deeply thank you for that.

    I look forward to reading more (right now I’m in November 2005) and thank you for being so inspirational. It is great to see someone else figure this all out.

    Once I have my website up and running, I would love to share it with you.

    Au revoir,
    Alison

    I enjoy it, too! Well, I enjoy getting taxes done. I don’t enjoy getting Quickbooks files ready to go to the CPA. It takes me about a month to do that. January is my “Prepare for Taxes” month.

    Alison, I cannot tell you how thrilled I am that my blog has inspired you into action. That is quite an honor. It has been a trying experience: as you have read. But I wouldn’t give it up for anything.

    Please, do stop by when you’re website is up and running.

    A bientot!

    Trisha, I really tried to get Quickbooks setup for my stuff. I failed miserably. But I guess I can still write-off the purchase of the software. That counts for something!

    I don’t mind taxes at all, and I find quickbooks to be very easy and handy! Okay, I’m lying, my wife handles all that stuff, I just tear our carpet!! :)
