Lol. </p> <p>Just like another thread recommended, I'm gonna use TaxAct this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-who-handles-your-taxes-you-or-dh-or-both#post-546731 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 09:33:25 +0000 lomom 546731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@owlmom: DH loves getting a refund, even though I've explained the whole interest-free-loan-to-the-government piece. To him, it's worth forgoing the interest the money could've accrued to have the government force him to save. He thinks of it like Christmas in March! I can't say I mind the refund either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-who-handles-your-taxes-you-or-dh-or-both#post-546715 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 09:20:14 +0000 Dandelion 546715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I technically take the lead. We used TaxAct, and he let me enter all the info, but he hung over my shoulder the whole time, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-who-handles-your-taxes-you-or-dh-or-both#post-546713 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 09:17:05 +0000 heartonastring 546713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both go to the same accountant (my parents' accountant), but neither of us actually goes. We just send in the necessary forms by mail and then the accountant's office sends back all the important info and details on our returns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-who-handles-your-taxes-you-or-dh-or-both#post-546675 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 08:13:28 +0000 808love 546675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me. I hope I am doing them right!! It gets easier and easier every year with TurboTax. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-who-handles-your-taxes-you-or-dh-or-both#post-546643 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 04:53:47 +0000 Bao 546643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both do them together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-who-handles-your-taxes-you-or-dh-or-both#post-546640 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 04:50:14 +0000 loveisstrange 546640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year we filed jointly, so we went together. This year he will be headof household, so I dont know that i need to be there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-who-handles-your-taxes-you-or-dh-or-both#post-546609 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 01:41:10 +0000 mynoahbear 546609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH emails everything to the tax firm after we both fill in the forms they send us together online. We have to use an accountant familiar with expat taxes since we live abroad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-who-handles-your-taxes-you-or-dh-or-both#post-546592 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 01:07:33 +0000 Arden 546592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do our finances, but my dad does our taxes for us, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-who-handles-your-taxes-you-or-dh-or-both#post-546463 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 21:46:13 +0000 lovehoneybee 546463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, via TurboTax. I don't know why, he's perfectly capable of doing them (though not particularly interested). I think I started doing them because when we were dating he would wait until the very last possible moment to file them, and that made me nuts, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-who-handles-your-taxes-you-or-dh-or-both#post-546449 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 21:34:14 +0000 ShootingStar 546449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do them - I grew up with a mom who worked her entire career in the IRS and I picked up a lot about how to do them. I also call and ask her for help when needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-who-handles-your-taxes-you-or-dh-or-both#post-546415 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 20:58:09 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 546415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, since I'm the one who has a home office and a separate business to file for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-who-handles-your-taxes-you-or-dh-or-both#post-546414 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 20:56:57 +0000 owlmom 546414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a CPA, and we still both do them! I'm a total procrastinator, and DH always wants to do them in January. So he usually starts them when he gets impatient, and I finish them. I do all of our tax planning, though. I refuse to loan the government money interest free, so we don't get a refund. DH still isn't used to that, which I think is why he always wants to start them early :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-who-handles-your-taxes-you-or-dh-or-both#post-546385 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 20:34:16 +0000 heffalump 546385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh takes them to the accountant. I am useless when it comes to taxes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-who-handles-your-taxes-you-or-dh-or-both#post-546382 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 20:31:32 +0000 Mrs. Pen 546382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do them. I don't mind it and it's easy. Sometimes we do certain sections together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-who-handles-your-taxes-you-or-dh-or-both#post-546329 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 19:29:52 +0000 JerricaBenton 546329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both go to the accountant together. We have to file a few additional forms for our business and I handle them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-who-handles-your-taxes-you-or-dh-or-both#post-546325 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 19:24:48 +0000 Foodnerd81 546325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh does them. Before we were married, he would "help" me with mine but do most of them, so once we were married I was happy to hand it all off to him. We thought about going to a professional last year but ended up not bother. Next year, with baby, me stopping working, and maybe buying a condo, we'll need a professional. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-who-handles-your-taxes-you-or-dh-or-both#post-546319 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 19:18:33 +0000 EBSC 546319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do them. I'd prefer to hire someone, but it's not in the budget, so I'll spend a few days figuring everything out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-who-handles-your-taxes-you-or-dh-or-both#post-546245 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 17:34:38 +0000 MrsRcCar 546245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do our taxes.

Mine have always been more complicated and I'm our researcher, so they tend to be my responsibility... but this year we need a tax professional. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-who-handles-your-taxes-you-or-dh-or-both#post-546203 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 17:03:31 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 546203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do.
