newbuzz...Our tax returns are finished. We got some back from the IRS and we have to give most of it to the state of MN. Pay the tax preparer, and it's a wash. That's good, right? That means we didn't pay too much in taxes during the year, just our fair share. Then why do I feel cheated? I think it's because somewhere, deep down inside me, the little girl who still believes in Santa Claus was hoping this would be the year I got $5000.00 back. I have no reason to think that I would, I was just hoping. Well, there's always next year.
