= how much of my gross income was spent on deductible medical expenses last year.
That's gross income, not adjusted gross. And it's not counting the non-deductible costs (another $4,000+) involved in Project Spawn, as someone else I know calls it.
On the bright side, I guess I will meet the threshold (7.5% of adjusted gross) for itemizing medical expenses this year.
*laughs hysterically*
Yes, it's tax time again. Preparing tax returns + reliving all of last year's traumas + coming down with a cold = NOT the most uplifting week I've ever had.

Ah yes...that reminds of one time when I deducted our medical expenses and the accountant asked what was going on medically (as if it were her business). I told her we were doing IF treatments, and she proceeded to tell me about all of the people she knew who did treatments; including who was successful and who was not. Good times.
ReplyDeleteOh no -- that's horrifying! The woman who helped me raised her eyebrows pretty far, but then she saw (just glanced at) my three-page spreadsheet of expenses, saw that I wasn't making it up, and went on in a businesslike way, thank goodness.
DeleteI'm sorry that you're having to go through all the reminders this week and not feeling well on top of it. I know we could have itemized my expenses for my loss last year, but neither one of us was willing to look through it all again. I know we should, but I just can't.
ReplyDeleteI hope you finish up quickly and can put those files away. Feel better soon!
I totally get that. Your sanity is worth something, too, after all!
DeleteSorry you've had a crap week. I hope brighter days are ahead for you my friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you. :) It had to be done, and now it is.
DeleteUgh- I hadn't YET done that... I'm not looking forward to that..so I empathize with you... I hope It'd be all over with asap, like ripping the band-aid off, but you'd feel better afterwards, I hope.
ReplyDeleteThen my sympathies are with you, too! Tax time is never the best part of my year, but this time it added insult to injury. I do feel better having it done and being able to put 2012 away in the filing cabinet, though.
