A special thank you to my dear friend Chris, who told me about the idiot mistake I've been making on my taxes for the past two years (i.e. since I started doing them myself instead of letting my mom do them for me.) I'm filing an amended return and getting an extra $312 back! (And just in time, as I got a 30% Kohl's coupon in the mail and am planning to put it to good use.) Thanks, Chris!
It's like I always say, surround yourself with people you enjoy, but make sure at least one of them is an accountant.
What was the idiot mistake? Maybe I've been doing it, too...
ReplyDeleteMy local taxes aren't withheld, and I forgot to report the local tax that I paid when I filled out my tax form. It's only applicable if you itemize. There's a prompt for it in Turbo Tax and everything. I just didn't notice it because I am dumb.
ReplyDeleteThat is great news. Do I get a portion of it? Did you amend it for the past two years?
ReplyDeleteYes, it is great news and yes, I did amend for the past two years. And you will receive my undying gratitude, which you must agree is worth more than some petty monetary reward.
