Free tax software!

-
Next week the IRS is starting to accept tax returns and processing them. I believe it's the 31st. So if you need to do your taxes, you can do them now and they hold it for you until they begin accepting them. I already did mine, I have to wait to do Izzie's since she's still missing a W2. I used TaxAct which is free to file your federal return and has different charges for different state taxes. For Virginia it was 14.99 which is a really good price for states. Another free software is H & R Block and I read on the website that state filing is 14.99 for a limited time. And there is Turbo Tax but I haven't used them, so I can't tell you anything about that one. I have heard they are good. I used H & R Block for a few years but last year we had a snafu with them so I tried TaxAct this year. H & R Block is very good with their follow up service and if you need any assistance after you file, I will say that. They really did help. Also, I know that in Virginia at least, you can go through the state website and depending on your income level, you may qualify for free state tax filing through different websites like H & R Block but you have to go through the state website to qualify for it. Here is the link to the VA state tax website. I hope everyone can get refunds this year!

OK, this started as another one of those "Pinterest Experiments" to see if it would really work, and it actually did! I had read on Pinterest that you can do a body wrap at home wayyyy cheaper than at spas. All you need is lotion, plastic wrap and whatever body part you want to lose about .5 in on. Seriously. I did it on my stomach, because after 3 children, I have the "pooch". I hate the "pooch". I figured that this wouldn't hurt, so while Hubby was in Washington, I tried it. All you do is put lotion on the body part you are working on. It's preferable to have a lotion with something from the sea in it, like seaweed, kelp, etc, but not absolutely necessary. Put A LOT on. I mean to where it's not soaking in anymore. Then you wrap the body part in plastic wrap. You can either secure it with an ace bandage or do what I did and just tape it. Since I did it around my belly, I just taped it to itself and it stayed in place. Then you go to bed. Whe...
