The joy of simple taxes

Well, I sure will miss filing taxes as a single person... it's so easy right now :-) And I get a nice refund. Since I paid so much tuition last year I get an education credit, otherwise I would have owed them a little! I probably won't be so lucky with 2006 taxes since I'm only paying for one class this year instead of 8-10 classes, but it'll be all messed up anyway trying to figure out how to file as married! Of course, it'll probably put us in a lower tax bracket since it will be two people on my income...yes George has income too but his is usually way below the poverty line anyway since it's mostly army reserve income, so he always gets a refund. But, we will be married less than six months by the time we need to file taxes...does that matter?

On a random note...George still has our gingerbread house next to his computer. Anyone want to guess how long it will be there? I'm guessing until about mid-April, unless he reads this then it will be gone in a few days!

oh funny gingerbread house! and while filing for married taxes VS. single taxes is a little more complicated - just get one of those IRS tax kits - your's will still be very simple and can be done that way. We've always done ours that way until we moved to Singapore and had to deal with all the complicated international tax laws. Of course, you won't have to do that until the 2007 tax season, though. This year's is still "single" all the way ;) I JUST LOVE YOUR CUTE (manly-manly!) BLOG!
