How can you guys get your taxes out so fast? I always wait til' April because I always seem to get a revised 1099 from the brokerage. Does this never happen to y'all?

Well... I downloaded it (on dial up) last night and started on the return today...

Hmmmmm.......is this because it is a free version? It did all this for me last year when I purchased it.
... and won't allow saving to PDF format for example.
Just a tip for anyone interested:TaxAct ... won't allow saving to PDF format for example.
Someone posted a while back about a free product called CutePDF........ Works very well with just about any application.......
...or try CutePDF - timing is everything
That's a pleasant thought, especially since I am way ahead of my personal savings goals so actually I might choose to spend it this year.
Go ahead and try...

Since the time I posted that, I have indeed spent it - - though not as I had envisioned.
First, I spent $285 on "fun stuff". I spent an entire day buying everything in the world, from things I had wanted for years, to true impulse items. I "shopped till I dropped" at probably a dozen big box and smaller stores, and filled my car up twice with stuff that I carted home.
Then, a freak windstorm on Feb. 20th blew two outside closet doors off my house. One of these doors leads to a toolshed closet, and one to a hot water heater closet. Both doors were shredded by Katrina, and barely functional. The windstorm was the last straw. I had been planning to replace them anyway.
Cost of new (metal) doors and labor to hang them: $480
I discovered the doors when checking my hot water heater last Saturday to see why it didn't work. It was (coincidently) completely shot and no longer holding water.
Cost of new 50-gallon water heater and installation, with new valve and connectors: $800
Tax refund money: $1395 (feds) + $105 (Louisiana) = $1500
Money spent so far: $285+$480+$800 = $1565
So, I am $65 in the hole. Isn't that how it always works?
I have an operating hypothesis.
They're all plotting together:
Appliances
Building Components
Vehicles
Pets
Teeth
