I will never forget my first year of doing my daycare taxes. I went to a near by town which was about 20 minutes from here to a lady who said she specialized in daycare taxes. Wow who was she kidding.
After I sat down with this lady for awhile and we did some figuring she told me what I OWED. Yes, what I owed. No refund for me. I was devistated. I was mortified.
I remember getting into my car and I actually cried. I had no idea I would have to pay such a large amount. Now this was a few years ago before everyone started hiking up their prices of everything but I remember thinking if I was getting what I owed in a refund I could by myself a new car!
Thankfully I had my taxes redone that year by the tax person who does my parents and he saved me $2,000 that year. I am so thankful I had them looked over by someone else. Who knows what I could have paid in the next year as well if I had gone to the same lady again.
Anyways, I hope you got your taxes done on-time! I would really hate to hear any of my blog readers getting taken away by those big IRS people!
I doubt they would still let you read my blog if they had to lock you up for not doing your taxes!

It does stink to owe a big surprise amount...but remember if you get a refund that just means that you gave the gov't a free loan and they didn't have to pay you interest on that money.
I go in every year expecting to owe...I do pay in quarterly though, so that helps! I dread taxes every single year.
