Did Taxes

I did my taxes tonight on-line. I usually owe the feds a little money and recover that and make a little with the state return.

This year because I only worked nine months I got a refund from both. $637.

All of it will be deposited into my medical bill paying checking account. This should pay close to 2/3 of my present bills. This is great! I shouldn't have to touch any of my savings to pay these new medical bills off. And when it is said and done, I believe my deductible should be met.

It's crazy, it will be going to a bill. A bill that is current. LOL. In the past my refunds were used to pay bills from the past. A very nice feeling...

that is a nice return...I cannot do my own taxes because of my self employment and disability....I prefer to hand it over to friend in recovery who is CPA....she does charge me money I think last year was $180....but I never need worry about audit as she will go with me if it is ever a question on the IRS side....

Just looked on-line. First medical bill has been received by my insurance company. $1,078... so my deductible has been met.

I figure another week or two for the insurance company to send out the explanation of benefits to the hospital clinic and then they'll mail me the bill. I'm thinking I'll have till mid to late March to pay it.

That means four paychecks to come up with $441... if things stay the way they have been that should be no problem AND the best part is I won't have to touch savings.

Though I might put it on a CC to get a cash discount and another month to pay it...
