McRib and Taxes

Me and McRib share an accountant (his, really). This weekend we took the long drive out to let the guy do our taxes.

Lake Sebago Beach - Harriman State ParkOnce upon a time I prided myself on being able to do my own 1040 and NYS100 or 200 or whatever that form was. But year by year it got harder and harder, took longer and longer. Finally, one year, overwhelmed, but with a refund coming, I filed for an extension, and then… forgot. Completely. For months.

McRib scolded me, and dragged me off to the accountant. Now I believe. I would have spent quadruple the time and do not as good a job… if I could do them at all. Time back, piece of mind.

And a refund. And a gorgeous drive through Harriman. Perfect, really. Except I got a spring cold.

    We started paying somebody to do our taxes this year too, and he is an awesome guy. He probably is the most laid back individual I have ever met. I feel like checking to see if he has a pulse. However, he takes all of the worry off of me, and I like that indeed. The unique thing about this CPA is that he used to be a band teacher.
