Kayla, Leaving you this message here.. because have a feeling you will see it here faster than on facebook.

Was just on my facebook account and saw your message. Thank you SO MUCH for the beautiful message and remembering about the butterflies. It really put a smile on my face!!!..

Krystle.. you have me confused?? World wide message??? Do you mean my comment to Kayla about the message she left on my facebook account? Today is my sister's birthday, she would have been 41 today, and Kayla left me a really nice message. If that's not what you are talking about then I am truly clueless !

Oh I hope you are wrong about the interview. We have to find a way to get you there!!!!

Yes it was pertaining to the comment to Kayla. But I was joking though, don't worry about it.

No I'm not wrong about the interview. My only hope as of now is to get my w-2 so I can file my return, hopefully I'll get it in time to file and buy my ticket. Supposedly we're getting it 1/30 but I'm suppose to leave 2/11, not enough time to file and get my return in time to purchase my ticket but I'm still hopefull for a miracle.

If we don't get paid this week I'm gonna ask my boss for atleast $300 of my check so I can buy it.

Unless I start a fundraiser "for the love of krystle & glenoi" Just kidding, but if I don't make it I just have to keep my fingers crossed

That's strange. I thought I had you on there?? Facebook has been doing some weird things lately though. The other day, I logged on it and it thanked me for reactivating my account. Happened to a friend of mine too!

You can use your last pay stub for 2009 and do your taxes with that. You don't have to wait for your W2. Do you file electronically? It's much faster.. I use Taxslayer.com and just use the information from my last pay check for the year. I'm getting ready to do mine this week.

[Seb928s 2]

Yea I thought I had you on there too. Weird.

If you had one job over the whole year you can use the last W-2 2009 but if you have held more then one job it can be tricky. I'm probably going to take care of my taxes and pay the government this week.

It's funny you say that - my old account got reactivated, not by me...and now I'm missing friends on my new one.. like my aunt and uncle both aren't on my friends list anymore and I thought they removed me...but theres others too..so maybe it's just been glitching on me.

I heard something along the lines that the canadian government is going to help fast track any Haiti visa applications - which I do think is a good idea because of everything they are going through right now... but I'm wondering is that going to push our applications even further back? I hope that doesn't sound selfish to ask.. I'm just curious if I'm going to have to re-evaluate plans again.

[kjenkins86 5]

Jenn: Yes I always file electronically and it takes 2 weeks the most. Someone told me that if I use my last paycheck to file, I'm only "preparing to file" and the info won't actually send until I present the w-2. So how much does this website charge & it does both state & federal?

Maggie: of course you're not being selfish! You have wedding plans & not only that, you & Kayla have been waiting for ages. I hope they don't go thru the files they have searching for all Haiti cases. I hope they speed up all country's cases that's been waiting for awhile. Or maybe the cases are sorted by country and not visa type. Hmmm, I wonder.

(I hope I didn't offend anyone)

It seems a lot of people have had this happening. I had a couple people ask me why I deleted them and I hadn't! Maybe all these "security" changes they are making to facebook is causing a problem.

I heard the US is doing this too. Something on the news last night, about 6 kids that were walked into the US Embassy and given visas right away. Didn't catch the whole story, but they were saying the US is fast tracking people in Haiti. I am glad they are doing it, but I hope it doesn't hold up people who have really been waiting a long time.

I haven't sent in an actual W2 in 5 years. I've been using the taxslayer.com site. Everything is sent electronically and I usually have my refund ( or bill ) within 2 weeks. You can set it up to be deposited right into your bank account.

I just print my return and keep it in case I am ever asked for it. But, as Seb928s said, if you had more than one job it's tricky to do.. this site actually has a link for entering more than one job and I did that when my company transferred me to Virginia a few years ago.. same company, but different pay rolls, so different W2's. I still used my pay stubs.

I think the site was $9.95 and included State and Federal, but can't remember the exact cost. It helped me find some deductions I wouldn't have found on my own. I've never used TurboTax or some of the other ones, so not sure how it compares.
