For folks in most of the US it is Tax Day. I hear that a number of northeastern residents are getting an extra day and people who suffered loss with Katrina are getting until August - but the rest of us, we had to have our taxes filed (and often, paid) by today.
Below the cut is the AW Monday Meme for today - and it's a 'taxing' one, I'm afraid...
Here's the Tax Meme!
Are you some one who
(a) starts working on your taxes the moment you get your W-2?
(b) puts it off a bit but actually does it before April rolls around?
(c) a last minute preparer
(d) heck, I pay someone to do it for me
Are you a
(a) traditional paper and pen, put it in an envelope filer
(b) turbo-tax (or the like) all the way!
(c) heck, I pay someone to do it for me - who knows what they do
If you could make only one change to the tax laws, disallowing total repeal of all taxes, what change would you want to see first?
If you get (or just imagine that you got) a refund - would you
(a) save it
(b) save it and immediately adjust your witholding so you get more money each month and Uncle Sam and you are even next year
(c) spend it on something you planned on getting with your refund
(d) rejoice in your good luck and spend it on something spontaneous and fun
(e) heck, I paid my refund to my tax preparer, this is just a 'reimbursement'
Have you ever waited in one of those midnight lines at the Post Office? If so, was there a party atmosphere or not - tell your tale!
That's today's Tax Meme - I'm sorry it's pretty US-centric for my global readership - next week we'll go back to something anyone can write about.
As usual - please use the Technorati Tag (replacing the first [ with a < and be sure to close off the HTML with a <-/a->. delete the dashes and leave no spaces. Thanks!
