    Ah. See we always owe. Not sure I remember the last time I got a refund. Since hubs is essentially self employed and a part owner we get slammed at tax time

    Why is everyone doing their taxes alrwady???

    Because it's fun to do :smiley:

    Ok probably not for most people, but for me as a accountant i like to figure out for people where they can get extra deductions or extra income.

    I do not know how it works in USA or Canada, but i like to do it for people here.

    Last year i did tax return for a 60 y/o woman that always had it done by her husband and later her son.

    Found out that she could have had over € 2500 return extra each year for the last 30 years. So called the belastingdienst (IRS for us dutchies) and explained and she got it back for the last 5 years, so she got a return of € 13.000,-

    That is what makes me happy, mainly just to screw over the goverment :lol:

    That is awesome!!! I bet you made her year a bit brighter :)

    I usually do mine online...stopped getting a nice refund after I could no longer claim my son. Now if I get back anything it's not much.

    I’d love to keep bees one day! I’m terrible at gardening, but I’d be happy to let a chunk of property go to meadow to support a colony.
