Congrats to Randall from CreditWithdrawl for winning my dumbest purchase ever (a Nintendo DS Lite). I hope you get more use out of it than I did. It will go out in the mail tomorrow. It feels good to get that off my chest.
TaxCut Premium Online + efile
A friendly marketing rep offered my 2 copies of TaxCut Premium Online + efile on behalf of H&R Block. It seemed like a good offer, so what the heck. I realize they are getting more out of this situation than I am, but I’m a sucker for free stuff. I’m taking one, ’cause I’m cheap and still need to do my personal taxes this year, but the other one I can give away to a reader here ($29.95 value looks like from their website). Just leave a comment on this post and I’ll use random.org to pick a winner at the end of the week.
This Week Craziness…
This next week is going to be pretty big/crazy for me. My Alpha Business (aka new name for “project a”) is getting a work out from a big client, and I have a friend coming into town to visit that doesn’t know my current situation. He’s a close friend, but I don’t feel the need right now to concern him with my past and current troubles. Maybe someday, but not now. Regardless, it’s going to be a bit of a eventful week. I’ll also be chatting with the IRS (wish I had used PayCycle earlier!). I got all the paperwork they requested in last week, and now I want to follow up, make sure they got it, and go for a face to face meeting probably in about a week.

Maybe you could spend some time now before your friend comes making a list of free or low cost activities for the two of you? This could cut down on possible spur of the moment spending. Living in a tourist town myself I know that whenever friends come to visit I end up spending a ton of money if I haven’t planned. Have fun!
I could really use the TaxCut

Check me Out!
Don’t use it!
Why does it suck? I’m sure it’s no better or worse than TurboTax online which is what I used last year…
I still haven’t done my taxes!
Please pick me. I never win the lottery. Maybe I can win this.
Nope, Turbo tax is much better than Taxcut.
- Better interface
- Less user error prone
- Better support
- Better returns
I’ve used both extensively. Just say no to H&R.
