The Taxman Cometh

One for You and 19 for me… Kind of sounds like someone we know, dontcha think?

What?… I can’t be the only one who waited until the very last minute to do my taxes.  I know this may be a surprise since I don’t really seem like the kind of person to put things off until the eleventh hour.  Miss workout every day, eat healthy, super organized…  Well what can I say, Greek Girl needs to get an Accountant Minion.

A What?… you heard me, an Accountant Minion.  Before I can do that though I need to sell a lot more CD’s and iTunes downloads.  Oh yeah and book some more acting jobs.  No wonder I wait until the last minute to do my taxes.  So many different things to enter in and they make it so stinking complicated.  Remember… Greek is another word for “Thrifty” 😀 So I do my taxes the way any thrifty Greek Girl would – do them myself with H&R Block Premium Business.

See it all started when we decided to start an LLC for entertainment stuff.  Well little did I know that would lead to a big fat Muckery Sandwich.  In order to even do your personal taxes you need to do the LLC first to get a Schedule K form, to use when you do your personal taxes.  So after all kinds of searching and phone calls I found that H&R Block’s Premium & Business has the Schedule K form that I needed… one small problem.  They don’t make the H&R Block program for Mac, it’s only available for PC.  So what do I do?  Borrow my moms PC laptop of course 😀 Only thing is mom lives three hours away, Good thing I have a good mom!  she met us half way to let me borrow it!

Kinda makes you appreciate that song from the Beatles “Taxman”.  Now don’t shoot me but I’ve never really been much of a Beatles fan.  I mean there are a few songs I like, and “Taxman” is one of them.  A very clever song I have to say.  Really, think about it:

“Taxman”

(1, 2, 3, 4 Hrmm! 1, 2.. 1, 2, 3, 4)

Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman

Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah I’m the taxman 

If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street
If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat
If you get too cold I’ll tax the heat
If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feetTaxman!
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah I’m the taxman

Don’t ask me what I want it for (Aahh Mr. Wilson)
If you don’t want to pay some more (Aahh Mr. Heath)
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman

Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman

And you’re working for no one but me
Taxman!

So with all this work to get our taxes done “on time” and make sure we’re all paying our “Fair Share”… Kinda makes you wonder huh?  Just think and this was written way back in the 1960’s.  Imagine what the lyrics might be like if it were written today. ;D Hope everyone got the Taxman off their back for another year in time!

Blessings, Love & Music ~
