Raniy Day and Taxes


 I finally found something worthwhile to accomplish on rainy days--Taxes!

The past two days have had some rain, well yesterday the rain was off and on all day. It puts a damper on outdoors activity, like biking. 

Since it is tax season and all of my statements have arrived, I decided that I would do the taxes. And so I did! I use TurboTax, as I have for decades, which makes data entry easier. This year I used the take an image and upload feature, which really worked great. There was only a small glitch on one entry where a number was misread--I am glad I caught it because much as I would like, I don't have a pension in the millions! The taxes on that would have been incredible. 

But taxes are done and filed. TurboTax suggested it took just over two hours start to finish. It really took longer as I wasted a lot of time trying to find more deductions that the standard deduction. I came up woefully short.

Now that the taxes are filed, I no longer have to perseverate about them! Yay!

And I got them done a month ahead of time. 

It is raining this morning, I wonder what I will do today?
