Waiting to file
It’s a good thing that I am kind of lazy. I almost filed my taxes last week because I thought I received all my forms.
Instead I received my last student loan interest statement this week. I forgot about it completely. It’s $40.00 of interest, but it’s still a reduction of income on my forms.
I also forgot that I still need W-2’s from my side jobs waitressing and the yarn shop last year. I got the yarn shop one last night, but I’ll have to go by the restaurant to get the other one.
I am going to try and file on February 1st electronically. It was quite a success for me last year, though my DC partial year refund still has not arrived. I’m tempted to call and complain since it’s been over a year and it’s $500. But is it really worth the bureaucratic hassle? Is this what separates the wheat from the chaff of personal finance bloggers? Inquiring minds want to know.
