i have a total of 5 boxes to fill spread out over a total of 10 pages and 2 forms, plus a few extra to check and make sure they didn't spell my name wrong or something, and somehow it still takes me HOURS (seriously !) to figure out what i'm supposed to put where (and i still have to drag out my photocopies of last year's declaration and check how i did it that time) and how much it all is.
this year was particularly thrilling (  ) since i managed to make myself a nice mess in my billing records, between one bill i had charged in 2008 (and declared last year, in 2008's revenu) but it was paid and recorded in my files in 2009 (i only noticed it by accident, but there's no point in declaring the same money twice, right ?), and a different bill that i had charged which was never paid at all (don't get me started). i can't even tell y'all how i hate paperwork. and now i still have to tackle my declaration to the Maison des Artistes. 
i think i need to go lie down for a while now. |
