Accountants are always better than H&R block. How much of that money did you pay yourself? I am sure there were expenses involved.... Accountants write off a bunch of stuff. My accountant had me keep receipts for everything when I had my own business for 10 years....I would suggest you at least get an estimate from a real accountant to find out what it will cost to do your taxes... May not be as bad as you think... Just a suggestion.

I love this suggestion. My accountant finds write offs I never considered. For my wage/personal income I just take the standard write off as it's pretty nice. But for the other stuff he always sends me home from our initial meeting to dig up more write offs (basically, bring him the proof of the expense of stuff I didn't realize was a write off). He even has me write off his fees every year as without my rental, I wouldn't need him, so, according to him (and I have to trust him), that's a rental expense, too. (I would have never thought of that myself.)

Mine had me write off toilet paper, coffee, and sodas whenever I held a business meeting.

My wife's accountant (she's self employed) has her set up to draft taxes monthly. Soon after I started turking and saw that I could make money at this I had him change the amount drafted to cover my projected taxes as well. So I don't have to worry about coming up with a large chunk of money at the end of the year to pay my taxes.

Did any of you interview your accountant? I need to find someone to work with me - and I've been looking at CPA certifications (I need a CPA) - and it's all so confusing. Part of me thinks that meeting them and seeing if we can work together (and I trust them) would make a difference.

what type of cuisine do you like? Sometimes, I just pick up a Chinese cookbook, or Korean, or Jewish or (lately) Polish - and find a vegetarian version. I just found a veggie version of Bigos online that I want to try:

Thanks! I do like some Chinese, but not big on Korean. Haven't had much Jewish or Polish.

I'M STUCK AT WORK. We all ran the Saint Paddys marathon this AM at 7. I had to come into the office at noon, while they all stayed downtown drinking. Needless to say, downtown is at defcon 3 right now. I have 45 mins left and I'm hopping on my broom and diving straight into a barrel of Guinness.

Snort. That's something I would do to my kid. He's decided we need a "swear jar" and an "Inappropriate thing to say to your kid" jar. He thinks he will get rich.

he's totally correct
