Nervous When I submit our taxes

Well only when we get a refund. But I'm nervous that I messed up and we owe instead of getting a refund. I do them through H&R Block.com, and I answer the questions truthfully, but I'm always a little nervous.

Re: Nervous When I submit our taxes

  • We use a CPA so I'm not nervous about messing them up.  I am nervous about us having to pay though.  I never have before but every year I get antsy until I see that check appear in my account.

  • Just out of curiousity how much does a CPA cost?

  • we use a CPA as well, so it gives us a big peice of mind, not to mention he's a church friend, so we get a little discount for being close to the family. I think last year we paid $108 for everything, and got 5900 back, so I was more than willing to pay that! I am ready to see what we'll get back this year with having a new deduction Stick out tongue
  • They told me that it depends on how "hard" your taxes are to do but ours runs about $125. 

    My MIL would do them for free for us (she used to work for a CPA) but then she'd know how much we make and I'm just not quite there with her yet.

  • I also use a CPA. He charges us $50 but only because he is a close family friend. I really hope we get some $$$ back this year..

    I always hear great stories about people getting a big check back I have never been that lucky. I have owned my house for 3 1/2 years and the biggest check i have gotten was $900.  

    So last year I used a new person (to see if my results would be different) and for the first time I had to pay the state $25 and I got back from federal $100..

     I will this year go back to the CPA friend but hopefully with me being married this time i can get some of the benefits!!!

  • Brit, can I have his number? That's a fabulous return on invesent!
  • yeah, we did ours today too and it always makes me nervous.  I'm always truthful, but still :)

    We're getting a nice chunk this year since I'm not working and we have E :)

    Dude, me too.  How the heck do you guys get so much back?

    Ok, sorry.  Don't answer that.  That's a personal question.  I just never have gotten back more than ~$1000.  Well, except last year when we got our homebuyers credit but if you took away the credit, it was still only about $1k.  And I thought it would have been more since I got married but nope, still only $1k.

  • I did ours with Turbo Tax and I already have my return in the bank. Ours our pretty easy to do right now and it only took me about an hour. I do still get a little nervous that I've done something wrong but at the same time I figure I can't have messed it up too bad since we usually take the standard deduction!
