The IRS is satisfied

I finally filed my taxes. It's late, I'm tired, but they're done.

In the past, I've always filed my taxes on my own, on paper, and sent them in snail-mail.

This year, I did something I've never done before: I e-filed. On top of that, I filed them through eSmart Tax. I did it because I didn't want the hassle. Last year, I worked in two states 2,000 miles apart. I'm sure I could have figured everything out, but it was much easier to just punch the numbers in to the computer and let it figure out the rest.

Total cost: just under $35. ($10 for the federal and one state return, $15 for the other state return.)

Total refund: $144. But then, I didn't have either employer withhold federal taxes this time around.
