And DH Filed the Taxes

February 4th, 2013 at 05:02 am

DH went ahead and e-filed through TurboTax. It cost $30. I thought he was going to wait until tomorrow so he could get the interest from the final CU savings account. He just added $5 to our interest income instead. Which is over what it would have been with less than $500 in it at any given time at .1% interest for the year. Just to be on the safe side.

The final numbers made the return be a bit more than I expected it to be. DH was just guesstimating when he said $8500. The real total is $8903. Now if we're lucky, like Secretary Saving, we'll get it back within five days. And if not, we'll get it in three to five weeks.

I'm hoping it will come soon because I just want the Chase card taken care of and the credit card debt done once and for all. I will try not to drive myself (and you guys) crazy about it, but clearly there are no guarantees that I won't. Wink

Hopefully this will be the last year we'll get such a tremendously large return. Last year and this year were because of medical expenses. I would really rather not have over $10,000 in medical expenses in 2013! Of course I have no idea what the sleep study will cost and if I have sleep apnea I'll have to buy the C-Pap machine which looks like they run between $600 to $1000. That will be completely out of pocket because of our $2500 deductible.

Maybe that will be what I use some of the tax return for. Well, at least we'll have the money to cover it if it comes to that.

    All is looking good. We've paid out of pocket for a nebulizer and I don't remember what it cost. Breathing is essential Smile

    PS--Technically the cost is for the TurboTax software and the filing is free.

    I wonder if you'd be able to find a used c-pap? My dad used a C-pap machine, and we didn't know what to do with it after he died. I'd imagine if it got disinfected thoroughly, etc., that it could be used by someone else.

    Laura--I just asked my mom about my dad's machine and she still has it. I wasn't even thinking.
