Taxes Trump Writing

Yes, it’s true…faced with the need to dig through paper and computer records (or face the IRS later)  I slacked off on the writing yesterday to try to wrestle my credit card records into printable form.

Only to discover that, unlike previous years, the year-end summary pages will only print as screen-capture.    And for reasons I don’t fully understand, some things aren’t in the category to which I think they belong (but that’s OK, because I can sort by “merchant”.   But still only screen-capture printout.   Why not a whole printout?  I’m going to suggest that to my credit card company.)

Yesterday also involved several hours on the tractor, mowing/shredding (when the stalks of dead forbs are as tall as the tractor, it’s shredding.    And sounds like it.   And I need to go out now, while the humidity is still high and the heat isn’t as much, and do more.

    Do you use Quicken? Most credit card companies allow you to download your transactions to the program. Do this and you will never need to print a screen capture. I have used the program for at least 10 years and it make the whole process easy.
