It must've been nice that you had a smaller tax when in Hawaii – unlike in Oregon. But then again, it could have been affected by other factors besides your current residence. Anyway, thanks for sharing this with us. All the best!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://taxtigerca.blogspot.com/2015/02/has-federal-tax-lien-been-filed-in-your.html" rel="nofollow">Wanda Hanson @ Tax Tiger </a><br />Wanda Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13460295512777820542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764389163852345785.post-63650173231833985652014-04-16T11:27:13.483-07:002014-04-16T11:27:13.483-07:00The IRS is pretty comfortable with Turbo Tax I thi...The IRS is pretty comfortable with Turbo Tax I think. I'm seeing a therapist (after lecture from the DR) tomorrow so I will get soothed in many ways, I hope.<br /><br />I really don't know how a therapist will "help" if I don't feel like I'm having any issues? First time with Dr. Gloria ... stay tuned!The Awkward Widowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03729456066739275695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764389163852345785.post-31052081381655193942014-04-16T11:25:13.010-07:002014-04-16T11:25:13.010-07:00Oh yuck.

And braver than I. More organized and methodical, too? I did use Turbo Tax one year, and much to my surprise never heard a peep from the IRS. Evidently I did fine, but I fretted so much about it was better to pay an accountant rather than a therapist to soothe my soul.

I hope you don't get much of a shock from losing your husband last year---tax wise. I sure did and it wasn't a good shock and as a result I've had to start getting more money taken out from my pension so I don't have to pay the IRS next year which cuts down my monthly income now.Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.com
