Time to think about Taxes!


I don't know about you, but I really dread thinking about getting documentation ready for taxes. Last year when I was finished and everything was in order, I bought this great organizer (at a low price, because everyone else was done with taxes). It was perfect for keeping everything where it should be for the year. I came across it just the other day as I was reorganizing my office. It would be such a great tool if it was used!! But, it's never too late, I'm going to pull it out today and as my information streams in I will know where to file it. It's tough to swallow the tax pill, but we enjoy each and every day the privilege of what those taxes buy. You have to love the crazy taxes, in certain states and cities, you'll pay special taxes for buying a deck of cards, possessing illegal drugs, and, possibly, buying things from naked people.

Here's an article that talks about getting organized for taxes:

Getting organized for the tax year

Even if your tax situation isn't complicated, there's still documentation the Internal Revenue Service demands. But tax filing doesn't have to be an ordeal. And it can be less frustrating and less time-consuming if you have all the material at your fingertips. By being prepared, you'll be ready to file your return at the earliest possible moment (the IRS usually starts accepting returns around mid-January). And the earlier you file, the sooner you'll get your refund.
