the ultimate procrastination. the story of my life.
ugh. it is sunday night, monday morning, however you want to look at it, and i still have yet to finish my taxes!!! i know, i know. i have been talking about this for a long time! and i have been working on it ... in bits and pieces. i just can't settle down and just finish! now i am paying the price! the pressure!!!!!
so what do i do in the meantime?
wash dishes
perfect fold my clothes
BLOG!
watch horrible "made for tv" movies!
there was a great one on abc tonight! ( i love these sunday night movies!)
the feature tonight was "when innocence is lost".
riveting!!
this was the dummist movie!! and i couldn't stop watching!
so this is what happens (i hope i don't ruin it for you!):
erica and scott have a baby when they are in high school. erica is young and in school, and doesn't have a lot of money so she is informed of this new concept called "child support" and takes scott to court so he will pay up! scott is ordered to pay $12 a week in child support and is he is thoroughly upset! scott and his family are outraged that the baby is sent to daycare since erica is going to college on a full scholarship, that they now take her to court to get custody of the baby. the judge feels that erica is not a suitable parent and transfers custody to the father (aka the parent). this gets the whole town up in an uproar! the news is covering every moment of this captivating story! how could a woman be penalized for sending her child to daycare! the women must unite!
ok, at his point, i had enough. i mean, first of all, $12 a week for child support! was this in like, 1952?!
and then, when does a judge deem a mother unfit to care for her own child just because she sends her to daycare?! I had to see when this movie was made so that i would better understand how stupid it was. it was made in 1997!!!!
i can't even talk about this anymore.
back to taxes.
11:36am.
omg. i'm done!
i had a slight freak-out at 4am when after i e*filed (which i thought would be the most efficient considering the time i had) i found out that within 24-48 hours, you get an email, stating if your return was accepted by the irs. then you could print and sign and mail. nooooooo! i don't have 48 hours! that was the whole point of e*filing!!!! so i tried to do the live chat with h&r and the person basically said i would be late and penalized! so why don't i just fill out the paperwork manually at this point and mail it in?! i was so upset! i couldn't even sleep. but i couldn't get any answer until the phone lines were open at 8 am. so i laid in bed.
after waiting on hold forever, this nice woman told me not to worry. as long as i submitted my efile by the 17th, it is good as postmarked by the 17th. whew!!the signature can come later. thank god!
the good thing is that technically we have until the 18th in NY due to some patriot holiday.
lesson learned: e*filing is super easy. next time don't wait until the last minute.
yeah, right!
update!!: i just got my acceptance email! hahaha! it's all good! perfect timing!
