STOCK PAPERS

I finally received my stock papers! Yes. I am on my way to do my taxes. The time is approximately 4:21 p.m. It usually takes about one hour to do my taxes. I tell the front desk person when I arrive that I need a second year person because I have stock, Independent Sales Representative, etc. I have been going to the same tax place for 19 years. I will be back in a couple of hours! SMILE!

I just got back from the tax place. When I walked in the door, the time on the cable box had 7:02 p.m. I told the receptionist I needed a second year tax associate, and it would take one hour. Please be sure she has had her break/lunch. It took approximately 1.5 hours! I learned a lot. My tax preparer gave me a lot of FINANCIAL advice personally and for my businesses. The self-employment taxes are what I really need to pay more attention to the details.

The fees were high as always. The total cost of preparing my taxes cost more than my car payment! Fees included $29.99 for refund account fee, $12.66 finance charge, and $20 check processing fee, etc. I can count this tax firm because it is nationwide. I have been going 19 years, and next year (2011) will make 20 years!
