The Real World - Sunday, April 15, 2007
I thought I would be exempt from filing a tax return this year due to me not making enough money, but my dad abruptly came into my room and told me that I needed to file because I got $600 in dividends from stocks my grandfather willed to me. So for the first time I had to file my federal and state returns.
Tax forms are the most confusing things ever invented. The government didn't think it was good enough to just take our money.. they needed to make it hell. Sadists.
Fortunately things like TaxCut from H&R Block make filing easy... or easier. Though it was pretty straightforward to put in all my data, I didn't understand many of the big financial terms. It's not too bad right now since my financial life is relatively simple, but later on when I'm out on my own, filing taxes will be a lengthy pain. But if I get married to Silly Goose, she can help me. :)
Income tax. Woohoo. Welcome to the real world.
