Doh!

Dwayne just got a big bonus and it has been fun planning what to do with it. Until we got back from camping today and had a thick envelope from the IRS waiting in the mailbox, saying we owe them almost $7000 from our 2010 return.

Oops.

It should be noted, albeit briefly, that I do the taxes in our household.

After a few hours of pouring over our 2010 tax file, I finally found that instead of inputting $654.05 on Form 1099-B, I put in $6540. Take that, throw in some interest, maybe a pinch or two of penalties, and there goes the extra block Dwayne was going to get to finish up the outside walls. 

Sorry, Baby!  I love you.  Um, happy birthday?
