Readers and friends have teased me over the years about my unbridled enthusiasm over income tax preparation.
I’ll confess that some of that enthusiasm has been pretend, but there is one thing I do love about tax prep that I think might help get you excited as well.
What I like is tax preparation has an end. So many things in our lives these days are never-ending, like Groundhog Day, over and over again. It’s hard to find a project where you can say, That’s done!
On the other hand, when you sign and mail that tax return (yes, I know, you actually push Send on your computer or give your accountant the go-ahead to do the same), that tax return is finished. Yes, you must wait for your Notice of Assessment from CRA and they may ask for some more information, but at least your part of the job is now complete.
