My DH went to the SS office and discovered they had lost our paperwork for DS2's SS #. However due to a major communications problem (theirs not ours) we now have a SS number in his name. SOOOOOO.......
I spent a great deal of time online the other evening trying to do our taxes. I discovered that no sites, even the ones who want what I considered big money for simple taxes like ours recognized one of the forms we had to use. So I gave up and we went to HR Block. I had a coupon for 25.00 off and it still cost us 127.00. I'm delighted however. you see they "found" $1000.00 that we were told we couldn't claim. It seems we were told wrong and our refund is now much better!
In addition, I had several auctions close today and a couple of them are already paid for. I sold another book too. This means that the original 250.00 we used to start the account is almost paid back (less than 111 to go)then we get to raise the amount for a down payment,and we could get our refund back in a week. Needless to say we are delighted!
They filed our state taxes as well (was around 30 for the fee) and got us a couple more dollars there too. All in all a good return on our investment.
