Did my taxes last night. Being a CPA, and having spent years of my life doing taxes, I tend to use Ticonderoga 2.0 for my personal tax prep, instead of using another pro, or software like TurboTax. However, with my injury, and a few new issues this year, along with some disposable cash and curiosity, I opted to TurboTax it and e-file for the first time.
I must say, the W-2 import worked nicely. Even better was the capital gain/loss import from my bank. Last year was my first year actively trading, so it was sweet to have all my trades and basis pulled right in. Hard to believe, but I didn't have any medical deductions, since my insurance covered so much of my expense. Not being a home owner, there wasn't much else to itimize. I did have royalty income from the TV show I did on VH1, since I get sonwriting credits for the original song my band wrote. Luckily, I had some new gear purchased to use as a write-off, and the income was pretty small in total.
Two hours later, I had my e-file done and two big checks in the mail from the government(s).
Don't forget to do yours or file an extension. Tis the season!
