I'm bad. I haven't actually finished mine yet. I have one more thing left to do. I need to go to my bank and see how much interest I earned last year, and then I can file. Next year? Gonna do them as soon as I get my forms in the mail, before I can lose the damned things like I do every other year. Of course, I said that LAST year, too, LMAO!

Ummm, Lauren, you DO know it's the 14th, right? :huh2: JK!!! I feel for ya. We had a snafu this year and not only didn't get filed by the end of Feb like normal BUT instead of e-filing, we had to send paper via mail. By the time we got it all figured out and ready to go, it's the weekend and I couldn't get to the PO before they closed on Sat at noon. Sooo, this AM I drag my DD with me and head to the PO to get the buggers out TODAY along with cert. mail/return receipt to make sure they get them and I've got proof! (I know it's no guarantee but they also can't say they never got them either!) So, you are totally NOT alone!!

I turned mine in on January 17th lol. Had my refund by Feb 1st. Now this of course has never ever happened before since I am a giant procrastinator.

Now as for DH's (we file seperatly) I will be finishing those up today lmao. I have the federal done but still have to finish the state.

Speaking of 06 taxes, I had apparently forgotten something on mine and the IRS sent me this worksheet to fix it. This was back in like Nov. or somthing. Well I got the check yesterday and apparently it was a larger mistake than I expected because the check was for $700!!!!!

I heart tax refunds.

Well, hell. If I'd known it would take only a few minutes to do everything, I'd have slept longer this morning. Oh, well. I got everything filed and taxes paid and everything.

I'm getting a return from the state, but not from federal. I get to pay them $127, so by the time I add everything up, I'm only getting back about $80.

I have to amend mine by today. yikes

I'm probably going to have to amend my 2007 return next year, since I had surgery and everything in 2007. I waited too long this year to try and dig up my medical bills and crap, so I just didn't claim them.

This year we actually got a little bit back, usually we don't or we have to pay back... so this year I did it right away... otherwise I wait also till the last minute.... so you are not alone dear...:lol:

We just finished 2006 and will file an extension for 2007. I still have some numbers to find for it and I can't get to it today.

Getting the 2006 out is a HUGE step though. There was a time there I thought I'd have rob my (ex) accountant's house to get my records back.

This is actually the first year I have been prepared in January. With my surgery, the twin's oral surgeries along with various medical expenses, premiums,ect. I knew that for once we would be able to claim something for the medical expenses. We got some back and I think I will put someof it away for my TT that I want.

I'm actually looking forward to paying taxes next year, as I'll have mucho deductions for medical expenses, between my surgery (self-pay) and its related expenses and about $4000 in unexpected dental work (no dental insurance), along with a couple thousand worth of other minor medical issues. Of course, I have to go through the pain of actually laying out those expenses first, but it makes me feel a tiny bit better to know that I should be getting back several thousand next year.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
