Tax Day

Filed in: blog

Around noon today, I have an appointment with my tax accountant. I adore the man. Not only is he a good guy, but he worked as closely with me when my income was next to nothing as he does now, when it’s higher. A friend at church, who used to own both businesses and rental properties recommended Chuck, and I’ve been going to him ever since.

I suspect I’ll have to pay this year, as I did last year, but that’s OK. It’s one reason I have an appointment so early in the year. To give me time to save the money. Last year, however, the amount was so small, Chuck described it as the “break even point” – meaning that I had come very close to the ideal situation of paying enough without overpaying – which is what a refund really is: a loan you gave the government at no interest.

On the writing side, my editor emailed me about SANDALS, with some ideas for reworking the proposal. Her suggestions were quite valid, and I appreciate the input. Still have to work on line edits for FACE, but we’re getting there.

Took a bit of time off last night to watch DIE HARD with someone who had never seen it before. Now THAT was fun.

All little steps, these are, climbing back up.
