By now, your tax documents have already been submitted. You can take a breather. Whew. I know I have. Maybe you’re getting a return, and if you are and you’re like me, you’ve already spent the money on front row seats to see Paul Simon. Okay, so maybe the last part is just me.
I’m not exactly sure why I get a return every year, but I know it has something to do with the amount of information I provide my tax professional. The process usually begins at the end of February with a 2-hour long meeting (talk about pure excitement…or not) of which I leave with a laundry list of items to gather.
I spend the next month trying to track down every document, form, receipt, record, and expense I was instructed to collect. My first thought is always, “How am I supposed to keep track of all this stuff throughout the year?” And my second thought is always, “Sean, keep track of all this stuff throughout the year!”
Nevertheless, without fail, I’m always delighted when I receive a return. I quickly forget about the barrage of questions I endured and the amount of time it took to gather all the information. I can then focus my attention to spending the return on some frivolous item, a weekend adventure, or a concert I’ve always wanted to see — and, of course, I save a little bit for a rainy day.
