Friday, taxes are done and it is not pretty

$45.16, new watch battery, milk, bread,apples,soda,cottage cheese, tortillas,protein bars
Had left over chicken and slaw for dinner last night will do shepherds pie today.  Also need to look up a good chick pea recipe to take to church tomorrow as they are distributing beans, lentils, and garbanzos for long term storage.

     Picked up the taxes and it cost $545 dollars.  I knew this year would be bad as I paid no quarterlies and I took money to try and pay off debt and I also have very little left to depreciate, but buying a new floor or system just to get depreciation is stupid.  So I need to come up with about $2500.00 by April 15th and that is doable I just won't be able to pay off any debt.  This is why I am so happy about going into a non-profit.
   
       I can take $500.00 from the business to pay a CC that I used to buy costumes and then I have to pay self employment and taxes on the $500.00.  Uncle Sam has it all worked out that small business owner rarely make any money.  Well I am sick of it.  This will not happen again.  It is not like the business can't pay it, but when all you are really doing is giving a service it can get pretty old.  The studio has been paying approximately $2000.00 a year in taxes it is just a little higher this year I am sure due to no depreciation.

     Well at least I know now and I can start working toward getting that paid.  Then attack the debt.

     Thanks for all the comments on my strange post yesterday, I guess the consensus is that it is a generational thing. Peoples standards are just different and many people my age have these standards. 

     Well I have food to make and sewing to do and errands to run and we are doing the official story board for the spring show this afternoon, so I had better get my butt in gear and get something done, anything maybe dry my hair?

Have a great and productive day, go make a difference.
