Have you done your taxes yet?

Yep! Did them as soon as I had the docs. Irs started accepting returns Feb 12 and I got my refund on the 24th!

I haven't received all of my documents but I've already done a draft. I'll e-file them the second I've confirmed all of the numbers.

we owe a huge amount so the taxes are mostly done, but I don't think we will file them til april. we took large sums out of retirement funds to fund construction.

Just received final docs needed on Thursday. It doesn’t take long to do mine so I may just sit down and get it down tomorrow.

Nope - I'm afraid to send ours to the accountant lol.

First - in Canada we can contribute to our RRSP (registered retirement plan) until end of February to count towards the prior year's taxes. DH has auto-withdrawal on his paycheque, so we always wait until we get that statement.

Second - I was eligible for, and took, all 4 months of the benefit. But it wasn't taxed. I've heard stories of those who did theirs and have to pay $1200 on the $6000 they took. But I was prepared for that and started adding money to my pre-paid tax account.

Third - I'm a small business so I have until end of June to do so.  

But usually we get that final receipt by mid-March, so I'll start hounding all the kids for all their receipts so I can send it all to our accountant at once!

Texas residents have until June 15 because of the snow storm. I will wait and file closer to that date.

And we even managed to end up with a net loss on our farm income for 2020.

yup and got our refund already!

Yes, and we got our refund 2 days ago

Not yet. I just finished the FAFSA and will start the returns next.

I’ve used TurboTax online for 10+ years. Love it...if you pay a little early, you get $20-ish off the fees, so for me it was $70 instead of $90-95, I think for Premier version. I don’t use the two higher level versions. You can pay for TT without filing yet to get the discount so I always do that.

Yep! We usually download and print out all of our paperwork at the start of February, put them all in turbo tax, and check it twice the first weekend of February. On the 12th, we got notified our returns were accepted and had federal return on the 22nd. I haven't checked on state yet but the one of the teens got his state return already. The other said he got his federal but didn't mention state.

Done and we have the refund money. We got back about $3,000 less than last year. Not much has changed, so I’m bummed. But I put it all in the house fund. Someday we will buy a house!
