Doing Taxes and getting my Real Estate Stimulus in the comfort of my underwear!
What? Yeah, you read right… I’m doing my taxes and getting my real estate stimulus just by sittin’ at home and filling out all these papers in front of me.
Needless to say, this post is a little off the overall topic of this site but I have to say, doing my taxes from home as oppose to getting them done elsewhere is sweet! Here I am, in my American Jock Underwear having a swell of a time doing all this junk!
You know though, the coolest thing about doing my taxes in the comfort of my home, in the comfort of my living room, in the comfort of my “nice nice” underwear, is actually learning a few things about doing my taxes. As a first time home buyer (and anyone who has not owned a house in the last three years), we can rake in the extra $8,000 dollar tax credit! Seeing that I gained a few dollars after having accepted my companies stock option right before it was sold to another company, I managed to save that much more on the short term investment earnings. The US is taxing 25% of short term gains, yikes!
Granted, I know that this is a push to the demand side behind the housing economics drive, but if the break is there, why not take it? In a matter of about an hour and a half, I managed to single-handedly reduce my tax burden and all by way of sitting down, in the comfort of my home, taking it easy, and lounging around in my underwear before hittin’ the tax documents!
Hooray for me!
