its my understanding that the first date the IRS says we can file our Federal Taxes is Feb 12th .... we use H&R software and they say their next update will be on Feb 18th .... question, when do you plan on filing your taxes .. :?: .. we have the documents needed to fill ours out right now but don't know if we should wait until after then software update on the 18th :?:

Slightly more than 45% of my income goes to Federal Income Taxes, state sales tax, and property tax. I would be rich if it wasn’t for taxes

Thats insane I think. But her house and your house are probably close to the same in value. That sales tax is crazy. But ours is about 7 and then we have state income tax also.

My tax guy had already confirmed the 12th and the first filing day of "the season," and I didn't even know there was such a thing. That window may open a bit earlier for CPA types and at a later date for individual filers, but that's just a guess.

Bottom line is the 12th is the earliest for anyone, as I understand it.

Good news is, he says he'll be ready to hit "Send."
