Lounge Lizards I need your help......

[the Princess]

I live with a Major League procrastinator. Yes you know him - and some of you love him - CO Liberal. I've been on his ass to get our taxes done - But alas - he Procrastinates even more.

HELP!!!!!!!

Please post in this thread to tell him to get the damn taxes done!!

Thank you one and all. :):popcorn:

[MissB]

1. What is the rush?

It isn't April 15th at 11:00 pm, right?

[the Princess]

2. Oh great

The procrastinators are defeding him now!!

[Radio_Lady]

42. Princess, you might try this subject on Google --

There are books, articles, tapes, and counseling services for this problem.

Is there any way YOU can do the taxes this year -- or get to H. & R. Block or other tax preparer? I did then when I was divorced, and it worked out fine.

My husband does the taxes in our home, and he does them promptly just after Jan. 31st. He gets the Turbo Tax program, usually in January or February.

The Federal program can be downloaded at:
http://www.intuit.com
State program comes with it free.

Costco, CompUSA, Staples probably still sell the program. I'm lucky that my husband is skilled at preparing the taxes and he doesn't mind doing it.

He did my taxes in 1972, before we were married. That's how I knew he loved me!

[Auntie Bush]

3. He sounds just like my husband! Sorry no help from me! Good Luck!

[no name no slogan]

4. Did ours early for once this year

Actually, I cheated-- I forked over the $150 and had a preparer do them for us instead.

All I can say is, if you have the means, get somebody else to do them. I was unemployed most of last year, and my state doesn't take out taxes from unemployment checks. Plus, my wife and I both had numerous jobs and refinanced the mortgage AND took out a home equity loan, too.

Needless to say, it was the best $150 I spent this year.

And this is for him:


HEY CO LIBERAL GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND DO THOSE TAXES BEFORE THE PRINCESS GETS MORE P.O.'D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Hope this helps! :P

5. Now wait, - do you guys end up having to pay bucks or

do you generally end up getting money back from the government?

'Cause if you have to pay, you want to wait until the last minute. As long as it's still your money, you can still earn and keep the interest on it. As soon as you've sent the check, it's their interest.

If on the other hand, the IRS usually owes you a refund, you can motivate him by offering him the lions share of the refund for an indulgence he's wanted, big screen tv, season tickets, whatever....

[Left Is Write]

16. Well...you want to wait until the last minute to mail the check, but

I'd still get the paperwork done and out of the way as soon as possible.

[mike_c]

6. I dunno, there's more than two weeks left to do them....

What's the rush?

[Texasgal]

7. With hold sex

that'll get his attention!

[MissMillie]

8. I'd like to help you out

but a couple of weeks ago he informed me that he was putting me on ignore.

Sorry.

[CO Liberal]

9. OK - OK!!!!

I was planning on doing them this weekend.

[matcom]

10. you got a couple weeks

what's the rush?

open a cold beer, sit back - RELAX!!

hell i haven't done mine either but we will just file an EXTENSION!!! :D

just like every year!

hey pal, you got until at LEAST June before you have to worry! :D

[the Princess]

11. HEY!!!

I'm the Neurotic overachiever who is always early and always needs things done way before they are due!! Don't mess with the fine tuning of our marriage Matcom. :sarcasm:

[Dookus]

12. do 'em yourself!

make him cook and clean.

[the Princess]

15. Ah yes - the stereotype patrol

He does all the heavy lifting too. And I make myself pretty for him when he comes home and I meet him at the door with a cold beer.

He does the taxes because I haven't the slightest idea what MATH is.

[Left Is Write]

18. How about an accountant?

Is he reluctant to do the taxes because it's an odious, tedious, headache-inducing task? If so, an accountant's fee might just be worth it.

[Dookus]

21. it was a joke

making fun of stereotypes, you know, like the one about women not being able to do math.

[the Princess]

25. I was serious

I really do all that stuff for him - and he's my big burly hubby who kills spiders and lifts heavy things.

(grin)

[CO Liberal]

36. I DO Heavy Lifting To The Limit That My Back Permits

Spider extermination remains a specialty.

:-)

[KitchenWitch]

13. CO Liberal Do the Damn Taxes

The Princess deserves the peace of mind!

[CO Liberal]

34. I Plan to Do Them This Weekend

Before I lose the hour of sleep and am tired until October. :-)

[KitchenWitch]

35. LOL

[VelmaD]

14. Uh...is your arm broke?

Any particular reason you can't do them?

[the Princess]

19. Like I said

MATH - does not compute for me.

That was a pretty snarky response to a lighthearted thread.

Just one more reason why I don't post here much.

[bigwillq]

17. Mr. CoLiberal--

Get the taxes done please or I'm going to snatch up thePrincess and take her back to CT with me. Now do you want that?
Thanks for your time.

[bigwillq]

23. TYPO! SORRY!

[bigwillq]

31. Actually today was beautiful!

Were you LMAO about what I wrote to hubby or b/c I'm a bad speller?:shrug:

[the Princess]

33. What you wrote to hubby

It keeps him on his toes and I like that.

It's cold and rainy today here. Sigh to be someplace warm and sunny. How about Fiji?????

[bigwillq]

37. Fiji sounds great

I want to go to Australia though. :hi:

[the Princess]

40. South Pacific

Same general area - I'd be OK with that.:)

[bigwillq]

41. So that's where I'll take you

instead of carrying you off to CT!:)

[the Princess]

43. Be still my heart!!

:)

[the Princess]

29. No you're not a loser

a bad typer - yup!

[bigwillq]

30. Oh no!

Does that make me a freeper? :cry:

[the Princess]

32. Oh dear

I hadn't thought about that. But my best buddy is a Libertarian. So I don't care!

[MrScorpio]

22. Tell him that I would be disappointed if he didn't do it

That should handle it.

It's all about the love, baby!

[the Princess]

24. Thank you babydoll

That should do it!~

[WMliberal]

26. threaten with a Woody Allen film marathon if he doesn't do it soon.

:evilgrin:

[the Princess]

28. Oooooooooooooooooooo good one

:rofl:

[CO Liberal]

38. Followed by a Symposium on WLS

Moderated by Ted Nugent and Adam Sandler. With music by Oasis.

:-)

[Wapsie B]

39. I'm a procrastinator too.

Big time when it comes to taxes.

[tigereye]

44. we always send them to our taxguy

the week before. We always say we will do it sooner, but we never do. SO you are not alone.

[Wapsie B]

45. I use

www.taxact.com for doing my taxes. Works real slick. I can file state & fed for 19 bucks total and use the current years tax software too. So it's relatively painless for me. I just need to get around to do it.

[IntravenousDemilo]

46. I guess you guys will have to move up here

Our tax deadline isn't till 30 April. So if he got his taxes done by the 15th, it would be less like procrastinating.
