Taxes are done. Surprised in that I get a return this year, albeit a small one. I'd expected to owe, but the deductions I had for start-up costs combined with student loan interest just eeked me past the "owed" border. I filed through Turbo Tax and it probably cost more than going to H&R Block or somesuch, but that's the price you pay for convenience. While I'd paid about $50 to file in years past, I had to upgrade to the personal business model this year. Even so, when my return is deposited, I'll still see a meager net gain.

I feel so responsible.

Now, to set up quarterly payments, as self-employment will be my primary income in 2009.
