Fun with Taxes!

After spending most of Sunday, as well as working late last night, I finally completed my taxes. Whew!

I've discovered it's bad to do all of the following in a single tax year:

• Get married
• Relocate to a different state (including tax-deductible moving expenses)
• Operate two different home offices
• Sublet an apartment in a Cooperative
• Have tuition expenses
• Change jobs (but not at the same time as relocating)
• Have enough 1099 income to be deemed "self-employed"
• Have not-reimbursed business expenses, including travel and asset depreciating equipment
• Be enrolled in a managed fund with a high volume of stock transactions
• Compensation via a not-tax-exempt federal grant

In the end, my return was something like 92 pages, which feels a bit longer than previous years... Repeat after me: "Audit risk."
