Ready To File?

Or should I say, have you filed your Tax Return? At this time, we would have filed already. This year, it’s taking us longer to go to our Accountant because the forms have been coming in trickles. To make things even worse, the bad girl in me, every time I get something in the mail, I just slide them in the designated bin without even looking. The husband has been bugging me for a while but I just kept telling him, it seem like we haven’t received everything yet. Till last weekend, when he finally put his foot down and told me, we have to make an appointment with the Accountant and make it for the first weekend of March.

So, I have to push myself to do what I didn’t wanna do all along: sort out all financial documents, receipts and those medical files. The thing is, I have to match what I have already received with the financial institutions that we do business with just to ensure we’re not missing anything. I’m not done yet, nor started this task. This is one task that I wished someone would just do for me; but between the two of us, it has always been me doing this task.  Good thing though, when we finally go to the Accountant, I can be somewhere else and just go back when it’s time to scribble my signature. The husband sits down with the accountant and sort through the intricate details of those documents.

One thing’s for sure, it has to be done lest, the IRS will be knocking on our door.
