Numerophobia
March 4th, 2008 by ali
I’m supposed to be doing our taxes right now. Numbers kind of make my head spin. Kind of like in, “The Exorcist.” It’s an irrational thing. It’s probably a mini anxiety throwback to elementary school where I struggled with the times table. Showing my age here, those were the days when calculators were humongous and expensive and a computer took up a whole building. (Okay, you can stop laughing now.) I did eventually memorize the darned thing and go on to high school and college. Even got a better than passing grade in statistics in college. I’m fully capable of doing math and, sigh, I have no excuse now. Hangs head and drags self off to do a spreadsheet…

I’m on year four using TurboTax. It’s pretty simple, and at $44.95 (deductible the following year!) it’s cheaper than a professional.

Hey thanks, Linky! I think I’ll give it a try!

exactly what I was going to suggest, Linky! We’ve used it for years - first for the business and now just the home stuff (since the business is gone).
Hang in there, Ali!
