Tax Time!
Posted on April 6, 2011 5 Comments
File this one under “financial bloggers don’t always have their act together:” I have not done my taxes yet. I have no “how to do your taxes” articles ready. My tax forms are currently sitting in a jumbled pile with all my other junk mail in my apartment, and scattered on various web sites waiting to be downloaded. The thought of doing my taxes is making me panic because my weekend is already full, I have no idea when I am going to do them, and I’m past the point of ”helpful” procrastination.
Flurb.
In fact, the only thing I do know about my taxes is that I’m using TurboTax again. At least everything I did last year is saved, and I don’t need to go digging around my closets trying to locate last year’s documentation.
Let’s just say I’m keeping it real, peeps. Getting back to my pre-organized financial roots feels oh so anxiety-ridden, and not at all comforting. I’m reminded why I started getting my financial house in order in the first place.

I’m a HUGE TurboTax fan – got my taxes all done in one morning thanks to the software!

Don’t feel bad–I just did ours a few days ago.
Turbo Tax is the way to go.

Hubby and I are HUGE fans of TaxAct — we pay a whopping $10 for the new version each year and it refers to our data from previous years, too.
We always wait ’til ’round this time to do our taxes, as we nearly ALWAYS get at least one, if not two, amended 1099s from our investments…it’s easier to wait than to risk doing an amended return.
I do still need to sit down and finish entering our expense figures and such (we’re self-employed, so have to make sure we’ve got all our business expenses and income tallied up).

Hello,
I was just going through some finance related sites and blogs and came across your site (thebudgetingbabe.com) too. I really found it interesting and informative. I am working and associated with many finance sites as a content writer and I write articles on various topics of Finances. I really liked the way you have presented your site. I would love to do a “Guest Post” for your site like I did for other sites without charging you a penny.
Some of the companies I co-author for are Community Development Financial Institutions, Oak View Law Group, Centre for Community Development Investments etc. It would be great to be a part of reputed site like yours.
The article will be 100% original and will be published only on your site. If you want you can suggest me a topic and I ll write an article for you on that topic.
Please feel free to get in touch with me regarding this any time if you are interested. Reach me at, myrina.stein.888@gmail.com
Looking forward for a positive reply.
God Bless,
Myrina Stein (Content Editor)
