And the taxes...

are DONE.

Amazingly enough, it was relatively painless this year. Other than the Great State of Utah, in it's infinite wisdom (are you detecting sarcasm there? You should be) deciding that, rather than attaching the W2 to the form as we've done in years past, now we have to fill out yet another form, with the exact same information on it, instead.

WTF, Utah? Thanks ever so much for creating more work for me. I appreciate it. Really.

We got a refund from the Feds and we have to pay the State this year, and it turns out that we underpaid our total taxes by about fifty bucks. Personally, I'd rather write them a check for the entire amount on the fifteenth of April every year so I get the interest, rather than giving the government an interest-free loan every year, (not to mention the fact that if everyone had to do that, you'd see tax reform so quick it'd make your head spin), but I am powerless, woe.

And I've earned dinner out. Not sure where we're going, but frak me if I'm cooking after that.

It was such a relief to have that done. We get a teeny bit back from federal and have to pay in to state, so we have things worked out pretty well.

I was frankly amazed at how painless it was this year. Other than the whole "Here, write this stuff on this form you could just SEND US because your employer GIVES YOU ONE" business, which had me scratching my head and swearing a bit. Because, WHY? Don't they pay people to ferret out that information on the W2? Isn't doing our taxes hard enough without having to fill out yet another form? I feel really sorry for the people who had multiple employers having to do that, because you had a separate space for each one. I guess they wanted it all on one page? FEH.
