In the more-than 25 years Mike and I lived together, his accountant prepared and filed our taxes. Prior to that, I filed my own the old-fashioned way – picked up a form at the post office, gathered documents, completed the form, and mailed it.

He had always hired an accountant.

To be fair, his financial life was much more complicated than mine. And he hated filling out forms.

I pulled the pictured slip of paper from our “Good Things” jar this morning. Last year he finally agreed our tax life was simple enough to let me do them. TurboTax for the win!
