Taxing Situation.
It’s that time of year again. Time to rifle through all the receipts of the past year and try to remember what you saved them for. Itemized deductions are the bomb! It ususally takes me a couple hours to sort though everything and get ready to head to the tax office.
I went with one of the big chain companies last year and was VERY unhappy. The guy argued with me over every receipt, and actually told me that I couldn’t claim parking as a business expense! Anyone who works downtown knows that there is NO place to park for free and since the Light Rail and RTD busses don’t run when we’re on the way in to work, there is no alternative but to drive. Plus he charged me $400!
Needless to say, this year I switched accountants. I figured I’d skip the middle man and use the same accountant as Jesse. I figured since I paid for all the receipts he used and I drove all the miles he claimed, why do the work twice. LOL.
I’ve got a rebate coming. Hopefully it gets here soon!
