Stupid Tax

Apparently, when you live in PA, you have to fill out federal, state, AND local tax returns. No one told me about the local tax returns until literally 10:30 PM on April 15. I guess whe had to do them in Ohio too, but my mom did my taxes back then, so I was none the wiser. I miss Texas and its lack of taxes.

So I did some digging, found the forms, filled it out, and dropped it in the mail today. But for being late, there was a lovely $20 fee tacked on. Funny thing is, I only actually OWED $14.77. So thats what, 135% interest? Stupid tax...

I'll remember this for next year...hopefully 2010 will be my LAST tax return for split state residencies...

April

Total Debt as of April 1, 2010: $17,939.03.

March was probably the worst month in the history of the DS thanks in large part to owing over a grand on my taxes. :( I think maybe I got $1200 to the DS. Grrrr.

But April will be MUCH better...its a three paycheck month, and I've started the processing for my relocation money, which is almost all going to the DS as soon as I get it.

I'll be moving back to Texas in the middle of July. I am *so* excited.

In other news...my parents paid off their house!!! Yay Mom and Dad!
