We’re finally doing our taxes for 2003. The problem is we didn’t sit down once during all of 2003 to keep track of what we earned and spent. So we have the techno cranked and are tearing our collective hair out trying to find receipts and check copies. We play a lot of weddings, together and separately, and trying to track them all on top of the rest of our lives proves difficult every year.

The positive note is that I looked at last year’s return and the total we have paid this year in tax, and actually looks like we may get a bit of a refund.

“Where was that wedding?” “I don’t remember” “Look at the contract” “It’s not in the contract”…

Thank God for Mapquest driving directions (mileage is a nice deduction…) and online directory assistance (for the locations of various churches around Buffalo).

We’re on September now. Making progress.
