Great ideas, ladies!

I need to start tracking my 'business expenses' more faithfully. There's a lot I can write off. 2012 will have more than 2011. (I'm day-to-day I'm mostly an employee, but to the government, I'm a contractor... Whatever)

Making sure to stay on top of everything and not let it pile up. It takes less than a minute to get receipts out of my purse and into the system - not plopping them on the desk is the key

I need to find the last few papers I need to take with me for my taxes.

Filed mine this weekend! Huge sigh of relief!

I updated our medical deduction spreadsheet today. I need to add a column for mileage. Just thought of that.

All my stuff is now on the dining table, including pencil, eraser, calculator and pen. It's a start!

Great job! The tax lady has our papers, will see if she needs anything else

I forgot to put taxes on my JDI posting - I suspect this was a subconscious wish to ignore them. : D

Filed on 4-9, money in account on 4-20, small misc bills paid with it and the box with the documentation in it is almost ready to be put away as well. Just need one other thing out of it for something else....and am planning that for tomorrow!

i almost feel bad saying this, but it might help some one. i have a folder labeled current taxes. it's a lot easier for me to put everything in there as i get it through out the yr. i also have a list of things i get statements for once/yr (like end of yr bank statements, yours might include stock acct, bond acct, annuity acct, w2s)

this makes it real easy to make sure i have everything. then all i need to do is fill out forms
