Well I got them done!

This is the first time I could do a long form since I started paying taxes!

I had interest and points to deduct and I got in all my copays, mileage, ed expenses for work stuff, and a bunch of other stuff! I even got some back for fixing the house up! Who knew!!

I got back a lot more than I expected to, but I think maybe next year I can do better. I started saving ALL my receipts at the start of the year this year.

And Sal?

I used Tax Act too! It was a LOT easier than trying to find forms and booklets and all that!! I'd have paid them if I had to, but it was free for the fed return. I e-filed the state online right at the state website.

Now I am on the man's. I thought it was gonna be easy but there's suddenly a "problem" with the ex.

She filed and claimed the youngster to increase her stimulus check, but she signed away all her rights to claim the kids on taxes in the divorce agreement.

We are mailing this one and attaching copies of previous returns and the divorce agreement showing that he's claimed the kids all along.

(where's that hysterically laughing emoticon when I need it???)
