You know.....I've been anxiously awaiting my W2 so that I could get my taxes done and filed early. I always file them by the last week of January. I've been particularly anxious this year because I am planning to buy a new camera.....which I have been shopping and researching for weeks and getting so excited about it.
So the other day, I went ahead and got everything filled in on my tax software and figured I would add the income details just as soon as my W2 arrived. Well it came today and so I went ahead and completed my taxes and did the final error check and it came back with an error on "non-cash contributions" because Tax Cut says that the final worksheet wasn't complete at the time they put their software out and I would need to get the update before I could file my taxes which will be available sometime in February!
I made a ton of charitable contributions this year and I checked what the difference would be if I didn't take that deduction and it's about $500 difference on my refund if I don't take the deduction. Since I'm not willing to "give up" $500.....I am forced to wait for another 2-3 weeks.....or however long it'll take for them to get their stupid update published so that I can file my return!!!
They KNEW that people would want to start filing their returns in January......they've known this ALL year......so why on earth don't they have it done? ARRRGGGHHHHHHH!!! This just makes me so angry!!
