Hooray for software!

The second day of tax training, we did Janis Hayes's taxes again, but this time using The Benefit Bank aoftware.

Hallelujah! Answer all the questions, fill in all the blanks, and voila! -- all six or so tax forms/schedules/etc ready to print out! In half the time and none of the headache of deciphering tax forms.

Also magical about doing your taxes on The Benefit Bank is that, if you would later return to fill out a FAFSA, it could transfer all your tax information over to that form, making the FAFSA process superfast.

As a bonus, we got out early and -- after stopping briefly downtown at the Ohio Association of Second Harvest Foodbanks headquarters to pick up supplies -- took the scenic route home. Winding, fall-treed Route 315 does a soul good :) -- especially after two day of taxes aaaand a $50 parking ticket we didn't notice in our wipers until we were on the road. Ahh!

Don't mess with those Columbus meter cops. They're fast...
