Yay! W-2 is finally available! So, right now I'm doing my taxes, and things are looking great. Now, I know it's pretty easy to file taxes with a 1040ez, but I like the added benefit of using online filing, and since most places now let you file your federal taxes on line for free, I prefer it. And, because of how easy and free the federal returns are, I don't mind paying a little money to file my state returns electronically too.
I'm sure many people have their own favorite electronic tax company, but I prefer TaxACT Online. The price for filing state taxes is not too bad and I've used them to file for the past 6 years. I started with them because they were one of the first that I found that allowed free federal e-file before it was the norm.
So, I bet you want some numbers, I won't give you everything, but my combined federal and state refund will be over $3,000. This now gives me a hard number to use for a down payment for a house.
Now that my taxes are filed, I just have to wait for a return. I've got notifications setup to e-mail and text me when something changes, so I'll be ready in an instant.
