Taxes...ahhh!

Well we've just spent the last 5 (yes, five) hours doing our taxes. We decided to keep all our receipts from last year since we could claim the taxes paid in the materials needed to build the house. So we have been adding up sales tax on every single receipt that we've kept (grocery, gas, restaurant, construction, etc.). We used excel to help us-Travis called out numbers while I typed them in (over 800 receipts worth). It did pay off, however, we ended up getting a couple hundred dollars more back by doing that. But this is the LAST time we will ever do it! NEVER again!!! We are getting back the best return that we ever have and it will definitely come in handy with Essie's arrival this year!!! Thanks TurboTax for the expert help!
