It is the dreaded time of year has rolled in again. It seems April 15 comes quicker than my birthday each year. I dread it even more. Separating income, expenses, mileage, charities, fees, dues and receipts! WOW! I can hardly wait to send them off to my accountant! I can't even pretend that I like it! It seems each year it gets harder and harder to motivate myself to sit down to a table, and start sorting thought the piles. A few years ago I started placing each category into an assigned envelope. It make the organization of materials much quicker. I still don't like it. I can identify with children that don't like eating their vegetables!
I guess it is not even the point of whether I have to pay or not that bothers me, it is the anticipation, and just plain phobia! I guess I am not alone, there are no parties celebrating April 15th, comedians don't even make fun of the IRS. April 15th is not sung about in any songs, Broadway shows or dark humor! It is avoided like the plague. Just wake me up when it is all over! I know in my heart it isn't just me, it is everyone, but it is the ultimate Taboo subject! No one wants to do do it, no one understands why we pay so much, and in spite of having a bad tax year, do we ever learn from it?
