Taxing Monday
I spent the weekend helping my human get her taxes together for her appointment with her CPA today! It was awful, not because the paperwork was disorganized — my human is pretty good at keeping things in order — but because last year was one of her worst ever for income, and every receipt and tick of the calculator was just a reminder of how bad it was.
I kept looking under bills in search of misplaced income but I could not find any!
Hm. I wonder how much money I could get for Binga?

BingaBinga, I like your style …tee..hehi
Binga is priceless! Have a great week & hope you find income.
You friends are such fabulous helpers, I bet mom there appreciated a lot!Now you deserve a peaceful nap and some treats.
I wish you a nice week,
purrs and love
Oh Sparkle, you wouldn’t sell Binga would you?? Then you wouldn’t have anything to complain about. Keep looking for that income. Take care.
Binga might fetch a pretty penny, Sparkle…but we don’t think your human would want you to sell her.
We are not showing our mum this post. One tortie in the house is enough trouble.
You are so good to help your hoomin – especially with such roadblocks!
We bid $5.00 for Binga!
I hope your mom can find more income. You are such good helpers.
Looks like OUR house.
Well actually, since Waffles Too got his paws on the stacks of paper, it’s just a *little* bit messier. ; )

MomKatt was doing the same thing this weekend, Sparkle. Good that you & Binga helped! Maybe I could get something for Boudicca …..
PURRS!

Yep! When Mom had her own consulting business she did that same search; for 23 years!! Now, Mom and Dad are retired and they have a fixed for life income…good news and not so good news…puzzled ears, Savannah
I feel your pain, Sparkle, but please don’t sell Binga.
Mum is still waiting for paperwork before she calls the tax person.
My human understands her pain. And we need to get our stuff together to take to the accountant too–although she gets to just drop theirs off.
wow you are early! We haven’t even received anything in the mail yet. We aren’t getting ours done til the end of February
=)
Sparkle we all know you’re creative, so how about helping her with some creative accounting!!
It’s not much better at our house. I made a grand total of $100 plus swag. TW made, er, zero.
Yeah Sparkle..our human beans are always looking for some of that income too..but they always make sure we kitties have lots of food and toys..and most important..lots of hugs and kisses and love..please don’t sell Binga..she is purreciousl..
I tried following the money too, but I just got lost!
Binga is priceless!
Most of our mommy’s clients don’t want much income at tax time so they try to minimize it instead of looking for more so she’s very impressed with your human!
sparkle don’t remind us. our humans have just started to see if their w2s have come in the mail yet. it’s going to be rough during tax season here too.
It’s good to get it over with early. I intend to procrastinate, however.
First you have to brush and play with the cats who are sitting on the receipts…
Probably as much as I could get for AbbyGoat
Tax time is no fun for anyone.. Psst, don’t give her ideas about selling Binga, she might think she can get twice as much for you!
Oh Sparkle, you wouldn’t! (Or would you?) Put your heads together and keep looking! Purrs….and thank you for your kind words over the loss of our Seth this past weekend. Our hearts are healing slowly.
We’ll take Binga in a heartbeat, but we don’t think your Mom would be very pleased about that!
We hope this year is better for your human.

We understand, hey listen if you get any GOOD offers, let me know I have an orange boy I’d like to sell too.
Well, *I’D* pay a bunch for Binga, but we had a pretty dry year ourselves. Well, I guess *we* didn’t, but my mom did (and empathizes with yours). And I haven’t gotten an allowance in years!
Mom Paula finished her return late last night, but found out she can’t submit it yet because the form for her small business is changing and the IRS hasn’t revised it yet! She’s very frustrated because she’s scheduled to get some green papers back.
We’z sorreez it was a bad income year. As retirement looms for the Human, we think there are going to be a LOT of lower-income years ahead! Don’t sell Binga though, ok?
Ugh! Don’t remind us! We need to do that too! They keep telling us how things are getting better, but we don’t believe it. We don’t know anyone who is better off than a year or two ago. And then health care costs keep going up. Its going to be bad for a while yet we think.
That depends on if you’re going to sell her by the pound or the purr. (I have been dying to get Miss Jack sold by the pound, I’d make a fortune! I even encourage her to eat more!) hehheh

I don’t know why but everytime my concentration is like with paper work on my desk, my little one just has to sit on top of everything and get attention. lol
Yes more food would be wise! lol
My Mommy has barely started yet. She says it is too depressing. At least she says her expenses were higher, so when she balances that against her income, it might even out ti the year before.
And Kozmo has ruined the sorted papers (with only a little help from me)

PS if yous gets a good price for Binga, see if theys wants a Tuxie Boy Cat
Allie: ooh Sparkle! DISH girlfriend! I must know what $ offers you get for Binga. I can *so* see doing that with Faraday too….
