Since I have all the forms and some time to kill, I thought I would sit down and burn through my taxes. I figured if I didn't itemize, this should be pretty painless. Oy was I wrong.
The federal flew. I am looking at an awesome refund. It might even pay to fix my car! Then they showed me my state refunds. And suddenly I was owing crazy money, because both states thought they could charge me taxes on the money I made in the other state. Oh HELL NO. I mean, given that I am technically a resident of Virginia, I might let that slide, but Illinois does not get to claim that I made all my UVA salary while working odd jobs and an unpaid internship in Chicago. I need answers, but of course, today is a federal holiday (brilliant, Genius!).
I think I am going to have to file 2 paper returns. And I know that Illinois requires at least two forms, which just perusing look like I may have to bust out a slide rule. Ugh.
Add to this a touch of some bug. Mostly in my throat. So if I scarf down lots of Tylenol Cold with hot tea, I think/hope it will go away.
But it's above freezing for the first time in nearly a month! Maybe I will bust out the shorts and go for a walk. Or put away the dork coat and just wear 3 layers.
