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.

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
