I’m jealous of all you people that are able to do your taxes already. I’m not sure why, because I will probably owe, but I am. It must be the not knowing.

You see, we can’t ever file until the day taxes are due — if we’re lucky and don’t need to request an extension. This is because I always have to wait on a K-1, which doesn’t report until very late. (Sometimes I don’t get it until after April 15th, since they have until that date to file the K-1.)

So every year I sit and wonder how much I’ll have to pay. The not knowing bugs me. Last year I went ahead and guesstimated everything in Turbo Tax, but I don’t think I’ll be doing that again because it was a pain to go back in and change everything from estimated to actual once I got all of the paperwork. So for now I’ll just try to pretend that taxes don’t exist until mid-April.
