Helpful Home Hints
Today,
I am preparing my tax information, so I can file my taxes on Monday. I love
organizing the materials and papers, and cleaning out the old files and
preparing the new for 2015. Have
you cleaned out your files or do you like to wait until a date closer to April
15th. I personally
prefer to file in February.
