taxes suck

i hate doing taxes.  they always ask you for your income first.  so if you use a software program like turbo tax, you see a large number pop up on in the refund box...but then, as you continue on to putting in the interest and other stuff the government likes to tax you continue see your refund decrease over and over again.  

steve's dad didn't send us a tax document until last week, so i had to wait to finish our taxes until today.  from the time i started this morning until i finished in-putting 2 bank account interests and 3 bond interests our federal refund went down $180 and our michigan refund went down $192!  the thing that really sucks is that we went from getting $102 back from michigan to having to pay them $90!  argh. 

we're getting an ok amount back in federal, but we just use that money to pay our yearly property taxes since they're so freakin' expensive.  ya gotta love holt!  anyway, they're finally done and i don't have to worry about them anymore.  but i still hate doing them.  i wonder how we'll be next year with me staying at home.  it'll be interesting...
