Yep, you knew it. Taxes are one of them.
This year, I am not dreading them at all. For once. For the first time since becoming self-employed, we will be getting a refund rather than owing them. I could barely believe my eyes when I saw how much. Wow. I totally wasn’t expecting that amount. It will work out perfectly because we have been dreading this fall when my husband student teachers. Teaching requires one complete semester of student teaching. Student teaching = no pay check. Eek. With a family of 5 — double eek! With a family of 5 and a SAHM — triple eek! While our plan has been to save every penny and for my dh to work his tail off this summer, we needed something more. This, to us, is a true God send.
I am using the Turbo Tax program again this year. We went to an accountant the first year and it was just so pricey. I love Turbo Tax. I sit at my kitchen table and do our taxes. It goes over every imaginable credit and deduction. It asks me all of the questions in a plain and simple way that even I can understand. 
It took me about an hour the other day, and I am completely ready to file. I’m just waiting on one 1099 to arrive and I’ll be set. I’d definitely reccomend watching out for the program. Especially if you can get a sale on it!
