Man, I come up with elaborate excuses to skip lab today and instead go to the pool/play ultimate with the roommates, and the weather sucks.

Oh well, things could be worse. I could be doing my taxes. ;)

heh. I don't really do all my taxes. This is just adding up my itemizations and putting them in a neat file plus my w-2s and 1098.

My accountant actually DOES the taxes (and is worth every penny) :thumbup:

wow. you add them? I just separate them out into different categories and let my accountant go at it. :oops:

totally worth every penny. :thumbup:

My husband is in charge of the taxes - thank God!!!

They're a nightmare. Self-employed so we have tons and tons of deductions. He does it with Turbo Tax.

This is why megboo and I have accountants. :D (Mine's so cheap- she's the accountant at a place I used to work and does them on the side.)

Deal. I know it's not that big of a deal. But somehow, I can't muster the will to just go to Turbotax and get it over with. :p

OMG.

My roommates from 2 years ago didn't return the HDTV cable boxes on loan from the cable company. Since my name was the primary one on the account, they are charging me $800 for un-returned equipment. OMFG.

Ok, I have been trying to get mine done for a couple of hours now, and I concede defeat. I've always done my own taxes in the past, but I'd need a freaking PhD in economics to get them done this year. The saddest part is that my total income isn't even that high, but I have a zillion little incomes from several states; it's death by a thousand W2s and 1099s. :rolleyes: I will be calling H & R Block in the morning. I think I'm going to owe a ton of $$ though b/c of those 1099s. :(

yeah, when I bought my house I threw in the towel on doing them myself.

then I started my own business. I can't even tell you the number of 1099s I have now for medical services reimbursements. There's one from every insurance company that paid me that year, including Medicare.. every receipt for anything professional- from postage stamps to a new file cabinet to continuing ed seminars and *gasp* even my MCAT fee ("educational expense" :smuggrin: ). (And maybe one or two receipts for taking Randomites out for "networking dinners".)

Then add in tuition and student loan interest paid (from my masters) as educational credits, property taxes, etc etc etc etc etc.

Best 75 bucks I spend every year. (which is also tax deductible because it's a "business expense") :thumbup:

Dude how did your interview end up going some time back when you had it?

Also, Q sorry to hear about your tax woes.

PB & J,
My dad loves Turbotax. That's always been his method of doing taxes.

A-man,

That was the most adorable thing-what your little nephew did anyhow. I can just picture someone who looks like a mini version of you running up to you and hugging you like that. hahahaha

Tee,

Sorry to hear about your old roommate's doing screwing you over.

Penguin,
:laugh: :laugh: at the cover page to the Time magazine. I'm going to have to second Durden with the words: AMCAS material. Yeah I suppose it would be publication. muahahahaahaha.

Or does it go in the modeling photoshoots that get listed as employment? bwahahaha

Yup. Same here. I even forgot about a few deductions when I dropped them off. Like my new car sales tax and my utilities that automatically deduct then I get an e-mail notice. An extra $2700 I almost overlooked!

beary... can you tell im on surgery now? i woke up AN HOUR after you posted this :laugh:

i woke up at 345, was in the hospital by 5. i saw 5 pts and wrote their SOAP notes during pre-rounds, had breakfast, rounded with the pedi surg fellow... thankfully rounds were short, 45 minutes. but i carried half of the 10 pt census. :laugh:

now i just have to study my ass off today and go to the grocery store before i pass out at 9 pm and have to repeat it all again tomorrow. tomorrow will be nicer though since we have 3 MS3's and 2 subinterns to help write notes on weekdays.
