taylweaverSo it is only April 11th and my taxes are just about done. Not bad, right? I'd say it will have taken me about 4 hours when all is said and done. Also not bad.
Plus, thanks to those summer courses I took I get a bit of money back. Not enough that it covers the cost of the courses, but it is still money.
Of course, in order to get that money, I had to figure out how much I spent on the courses in the first place. One school sent me a tax form (yay) and the other school did not (:P). There were two schools because the courses were through my union - which also earned a $30 fee off of me for each one, so add that to the cost as well... Anyway, good thing I paid by check for both courses, because that meant I could look back and see what the amount was. It is also useful that my textbooks from said courses still have the price stickers on them.
Anyway, I guess it just goes to show that being organized can pay off - organized in the way of actually saving these sorts of documents. It would definitely have cut down on the sleuthing time if I had just saved the silly receipts in a file somewhere.
let that be a lesson for next year.
Yeah, right.
