Doing our 2005 income tax!

June 26th, 2007 at 06:20 pm

That was not a misprint, we are finally getting our 2005 taxes ready to file. Still didn't do 2006 taxes either, but do have an extension for those.
I have been asking my DH for months to get the tax paperwork together. He has a full time job, in addition to consulting income, and we sold a house in Dec. 2005, so had to pay capital gains. We sent in a check that will cover the taxes, but they don't take kindly to being that far behind! I have gotten a nasty phone call from the IRS. Now,I know why Dave Ramsey calls them the KGB! The woman was really rude and, pardon the expression, snotty!

On a lighter note, I saved $51.34 on groceries this morning, and spent only $19.25. The main savings was on six boxes of cheerios, on sale with three dollars off,in coupons, and a manufacturer's coupon for two free gallons of milk. They even let me get organic milk! It was seven dollars for all. Everything I purchased was on sale, or on clearance, including pork ribs,beans, toothpaste, ice cream, and veggies. It still amazes me how much one can save on loss leaders, esp. combined with coupons.

    Good luck with the taxes. I was in a similar situation. I found out after I had remarried that the ex had not done them for a couple of years. But, the IRS was also after him for other things as well, so I did ok--even got a refund. But, it was very hard to reconstruct all the records I needed. I had moved, remarried, and the ex had part of them in a storage unit that had been seized for nonpayment.
