Being retired and poor helps! And all my meducal bills this year and the high taxes here on the beach helped too! No taxes owed for me!! Wasn't sure I even had to file since I didn't give them any money this year and owed nothing, but I mailed them all the correct paperwork anyway.

Filed mine the first part of Feb. and got the refunds fast. Paid the taxed on the house and had a little left over. My kids talked me into buying some fabric and EQ6 with what was left. (OK, it didn't take much convincing. Tee Hee)

DH is self employed, so we pay quarterly according to an estimate. Our accountant calls me and reminds me to bring everything in each quarter. She does that because one year I brought 6 months at a time. I'll never do that again!

But, I just LOVE it when we move! I do get to deduct the cats. They go under Moving Expenses. I can claim their vet bills, health certificates AND their flights! WOOHOO!! lol

I always wait until the last minute. I figure if I'm getting a refund, I've waited this long for the money, I can wait a little longer. If I've got to pay, THEY can wait until the LAST minute to get it from me! lol
But, this year we are getting money back, thanks to a HUGE moving expense we were able to claim. We always split the refund....1/3 for me, 1/3 for hubby and 1/3 on the biggest owed credit card, which this year, will be paid off by the refund. :):):)
