Call me a bit insane, but I’ve already started on my income taxes. Not that I have all the forms I’ll need yet, but as they come in I’ve been entering information into TurboTax. <\/p>\n
The Chiquita Employee Stock Purchase Plan was fun (29 separate tax lots that needed to be entered with four data points each, for a total of 116 data points. Add on top of that that some data points needed to be entered twice, so there were 174 actual entries to be made.) <\/p>\n
Sadly enough I had to sell off my stock portfolio, so add in all that investment info, and I’ve probably already spent about four or five hours on my taxes, and I’m not even to the good stuff yet. (e.g. That which really fills in the picture) Its also worth noting that I had no long losses on long term sales; I did have losses and gains on short term sales.<\/p>\n
But the real reason I decided to write this entry is that I just spent the time to type in all of the federal excise taxes from my telephone bills from the past three years. My basic “precalcuated” refund from these illegally collected taxes was $30. By pounding at the keyboard for about an hour I raised this to $66. <\/p>\n
