OH, those taxes! They get me EVERY year!

Doing taxes is pretty easy... I mean, it is just simple math: addition, subtraction kinda stuff. But what's NOT so simple is finding all the proper paperwork required to fill it out!
I really should seek professional help this year! I have way more items to deal with on my Income Tax now, and I'd really hate to miss some potential deductions, because lord knows, I need all that I can get!

(Yes, I have a rough life!)

Unexpected Payment

I had some hail damage occur to my Honda Element in Late 2005. I have since had the damage repaired and even SOLD the vehicle!! NOW, I'm getting calls from my insurance company stating that I owe the body shop that did the work, my deductable. I was POSITIVE that I was told that the insurance company would waive this fee as long as I took my vehicle into a certain body shop (obviously that's what I did... but apparently that was not the case.) So today I paid my deductable to the body shop!

Seems weird that they are only coming after their money NOW... it's been almost 2 years since that work was completed!!! Someone's been slacking on the paperwork, I think. (Either that, or I really was supposed to have the deductable waived, and someones making a few easy bucks... But since I talked to my insurance company yesterday to clarify things, I know that the latter is NOT the case!)
