Last Minute Tax Tips

Last night I realized I needed to still do my 2007 Income tax.  OH MY, well I called my friendly IRS advisor, my sister and asked her where should I start.  My sister has been one of those hard worker bees at the IRS for almost 15 years and she is my "go to" gal.  Here is what she told me,

Go to http://www.irs.gov/  then click on EFILE, free... and you can most likely do a simple return with all the needed forms etc for free.  Or, if you made too much to do it for free, you can still do it there with a charge.  So off I went to check it out.

How easy it was!!  I clicked all the buttons I needed to, answered the questions and got to pick which company I wanted to use to do my "efile"  thru.  I chose Turbo Tax.  I had never used Turbo Tax before but it was truly as easy as they advertise it.  I was able to do the additional Schedule C and form SE also!!

Well... not much later I had my taxes done and submitted to the IRS, no long lines at the post office  either.  I printed them out for my paper records then saved a copy in PDF on my computer.  If you haven't done your 2007 taxes yet give it a try.   Happy Tax Day ya'll.

The Texas AR gathering

HI Gang,

I would like to say a huge ThANK YOU TO RICKI and CHERLI LYNN and JUDY MORGAN for all your hard work.. the POMAROSA is a lovely spot and I hope you sell it soon.  THANK YOU RICKI AND CHERLI LYNN AND JUDY for all the tremendous work in getting this together and pulling off a great afternoon for everyone.

Saturday was a great time ..  my friend from my office Celina Garza and I had a great trip down to Bandera, a couple of hours drive, we stopped at the Cracker Barrel for breakfast on the way and got there in plenty of time.

We met, Ricki Eickler and her office buddy CheriLynn, both lovely warm ladies, then Judy Morgan, what a warm welcome they gave us.  Then we met Eduard Lui of Georgetown, very pleasant man and his beautiful wife and children.

Tom Plant from California had flown in for the gathering and was a welcome guest.  Carl Winters and his charming wife Ceil, were warm and friendly folks displaying that great Texas hospitality.   Soon, Debra Brooks and her husband arrived and Debra is as lovely in person as she is on AR.

Lots of good AR folks showed up but unfortunately I didn't meet them all... alot happening.. .the food was good and Judy Morgan's bread pudding was a real hit so tasty.. but I have a craving for some more of that cherry cobbler, who ever brought it it was wonderful!!

Since I had a big day scheduled for Sunday I had to leave at 6PM, we got home about 8:20 so I made it in time to get all my prep done for my Sunday tours, I met with a really nice young couple from out of town toured Kyle.
