I have a new (well, new to me) car. We bought it on St. Patty's day to replace my 18-year old Honda Civic. I now have A/C and cruise control for my commute and it's far, far quieter. It's painful writing a check that big though.
We'd be dead. Can't get paid if you're dead.

Sigh...another year, another tax refund in exactly the same amount as H&R charges to process it. C'est la vie.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What kind of car, Gud?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

...what? Either H&R charges way too much, or they didn't get you enough money back.

To e-file online costs $65 for state and federal. The difference between what the feds owe me and what I owe NYS is $62. (Intellectually, I know it's financially better to break even than to get a huge refund, but psychologically, that's 2 hours of my time last night spent on a net loss of $3. Boo!)

I'm pretty sure you can buy TurboTax for less than $65, Jessica. You have kids, FGS. Even if you only got $40 back, that's, like, a week of lunches. Or something. That's just discouraging.

I don't think TurboTax is less than $65 for both Federal and State. It was $50 for me without state (I had to go with Premier since my taxes were complicated this year).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, that sounds about right, IME. Which is why this year I didn't use them....
