| Do you file your own taxes? | | Buy some kind of software for it (like TurboTax), take it to HR Block (or some other tax company), have a relative do it, or do it yourself?I'm curious specifically about people who file their own taxes. I've seen instructional papers at the local library but I haven't been gutsy enough to try it on my own, so we pay this friend of my dad's $30 to do ours for us. I'm thinking, as an effort to save money, I might try to do them myself. But I fear that if I screw up..Well, it will be a costly mistake. Have you ever done taxes by yourself? Is it hard? Is it worth it? | |
| | Is the government really giving out "fun money? | | I was watching the news about 2 weeks ago and I heard the gentleman mention that the government was thinking of sending everyone between $300 to $800 dollars. A week ago they showed the president signing this legislation. Now the rumors are at full force. I have tried to look online, I have talked to someone who works at the IRS and a few other people. Everyones story is different. The only thing agreed upon is that we are getting some type of reimbursement in or around May. Supposedly the reasoning behind this is that the government wants the country to spend it. By doing this, it will help the economy. I dont know what I believe. A friend of mine, who think she knows everything, says that its something to do with 2008 or 2009 taxes. I did talk to HR Block representative who said "No" my friend doesnt know everything. I could've told him that. lol Seriously, I would like to know if there's any one who can give an honest answer to what this is all about. First, it was only for taxpayers. Then it was for everyone. Even the people on social security, and welfare. Tell me what did you hear? | |
