Woo hoo! I finally got my W-2. Since I am a big boy I am going to file my taxes all by myself! Go me! So I sit at my work computer go to the irs website. BAM! Filed my Federal taxes in 15 minutes. They had the option to file state taxes but I was like meh. Why spend 13 bucks for them to do it when I can file it on my own. How hard can it be? So I click to continue, and a screen pops up that alerts me that once I have filed my federal taxes electronically I cant come back and file my state. You would have thought this would have warned me, but pshaw I'm 22 I can do anything. So Alvin completes his federal tax thingy and decides to start on his state taxes.

Man was that a mistake. First off it took me 45 minutes to figure out which form to fill out. Note, the form comes along with a 40 page manual on how to complete my state taxes. And so here I sit.. staring at my 511 utterly confused off my ass waiting for my boss to get back from class so I can beg for her to help me understand the mess that is Oklahoma taxes.


Oh if oklahoma taxes was a person he or she would be soooooo dead write about now. A quick break off of my foot in their ass. Die Taxes Die...

I was blessed with an auditor for a dad. So he helps me do the taxes

I'm blessed with an accountant for a dad. So he helps me do the taxes .

Actually he just does them for me.

Yeah... same... but my "watching him do them" counts as "me doing them and him helping" to me.

I was blessed with a petty thief for a dad. So I just avoid them.

Ah to be blessed with not having state taxes. Yay Texas! -tongue- been doing my own taxes since I was 20ish. Go TurboTax! heh

I always get my father help.
First, he sits next to me, we start the program, and he just points me at what to fill in the gaps.
After a few mistakes and 10 or 15 minutes, he has the keyboard in his hands and finished filling the gaps himself. Once he's concentrated enough, I can leave and he doesn't notice.

I feel like stabbing someone now.. but it has nothing to do with taxes. Eesh.. I should do those soon.

Hate getting all.. twitchy though.
