Rock the Taxbah

In true Ewald fashion, we sent off our taxes this afternoon. With a whole 10 hours to spare, thank you very much. This year, we got to file in 2 states, with 6 W2's, multiple freelance jobs, moving expenses, and the sale of a house.

We discovered our trusty folder marked, "taxes 2007", did indeed have important papers we needed. Mainly, papers we've received since our move. For anything prior to the move, however, we got to dig deep in a box marked "*sort post 4/23*". That's code for, "you think you'll have time to sort this the week before you move across country, while staying in your parents' basement, but really this will sit untouched in your new garage for 11 months".

We discovered the box marked, "*sort post 4/23*", did indeed have the other important papers we needed. It also had Dave's harmonica headgear and a linoleum block carved self-portrait I made in 1996. Both of which are almost as valuable as the $7.00 refund we'll be receiving from the State of Minnesota.

Don't spend that 7 bucks all in one place!

I owed MN $220, but got refunds from Federal and Illinois. I don't know how that worked.
