Tax Time

[John Wright]

I waited too late to run down a few figures that I needed and missed the opening that my tax man had for me.....so I downloaded the Turbo Tax small business edition and did them myself night before last. The "Guide Me" feature was good for a tax dumby like me. I understand what the information is better now than I did before when I would just drop it off and pick it up from the tax guy. I like that Turbo Tax fills out the W2's for you by importing the info off the web, and also does all of the worksheets for you as well. I flew through those things pretty fast for a tax dumby, and then to have it check for errors on the Fed and State was great. BTW, they included the State for free when I purchased the small business edition....Fed was free to e-file, but the State cost $20 to e-file for some reason. I don't really care...it was relatively painless to use and I was willing to pay it to get these things done this year. Procrastination got me for $20 this year over what my tax man usually charges me....so I'm not complaining. In fact, I might just do them myself from now on as long as the price stays about the same......



Oh, and I noticed that after mid-nite the other night, the priced went up $10.

I haven't checked, but I bet it went up again last night at mid-night to catch a few more people who were desperate to get their's done before today.
