Did our income taxes over the weekend. We owe around $8500.
See, I bought a house in 2010 and thought I was gonna settle down with
Girl Z. But then she flaked the heck out and R-U-N-N-O-F-T. Then I met
Dana and we got married in November 2011 and we had a choice; not move
in together until the 3 year time period was up (February 2013) or
move in together and one of us was going to have to repay our First
Time Homebuyer's Tax Credit, since one of us would no longer be using
that house as our primary residence.
I looked every which way there is for a loophole, workaround, or other
way to weasel out of it (I am an attorney, after all), but there just
simply isn't. That 3 year requirement is there to make sure that folks
don't buy a "home", get a free eight grand, and then immediately turn
it into a rental property. From a policy standpoint it makes sense.
I don't really mind taxes... I mean, I'm a Federal employee, it's
where my paycheck comes from. It pays for Veterans benefits, and the
military, and the interstates, and some financial regulators that I
really really would like to have a sit down with some time, but that's
another subject. I make a good living and if I gotta kick in a bit
more now than I did when I was poor, then that's okay. It's just the
price I gotta pay.
The wheels and black tank and other parts for the Royale are going to
be around 2 grand, and I can't justify that at the moment. I gotta be
a grown-up (something I *hate* to admit) and handle this.
I will see if we can make it in our daily driver.
