My husband does our taxes. That’s my excuse lol
Yes our taxes are done, we did them together this year. I liked excuse number 8 so much that I just may use that one on Hubs next year..:)
Since I have a disability, my parents do my taxes for me lol. Lucky me!
I do our taxes and they are in, try not to use excuses just one of those things that it easier to get done and over
LOL
Love answer #8. Wonder if the tax man will grant me a reprieve this year with that excuse?
can I say “all of the above”. I find taxes is always the last thing on my mind every year…
These are funny, yes we finished our taxes early:)
Those are pretty funny excuses. Fortunately, we always take our taxes in as soon as we get all the paperwork, 2 or 3 weeks before the deadline. .
I filed mine on time. These are the most ridiculous excuses.
These excuses are really lame. I can feel for the parents who have 2 children in University but Revenue Canada does not care about your expenses. On the plus side, I think they are fairly gererous about deducting payments for tuition and College ‘expenses,
I wouldn;t fool with the tax man. That is what brought Al Capone to his demise.
