Doing my Taxes Late

I don’t know what happened this year, but somehow we are off track to have our taxes done on time.  It could be that the passing of my parents messed things up, but whatever the reasons, we need to get them done.

Our accountant was happy to hear from us and we made an appointment to meet with him to prepare our tax returns.  Since I am not the organized person in my marriage, it was up to my wife to get everything in order so that we would be ready when we went to the accountant.

She collected all of our medical receipts (including the one for my hearing aid), the charitable donation receipts and all those other forms that we needed.  She put them all in color coded envelopes and then we were all ready to go.

After just an hour at the accountant, he had everything that he needed to prepare our income tax returns, and we will just have to wait until he is done to know how much we will get back or how much we will owe.  I am hoping for a refund so that I can buy a new laptop, but I guess we will have to wait and see.
