If you are able to estimate your taxes, why can’t you just finish figuring your taxes out also. I know we could never be able to pay our taxes without having filled out all our forms.

Tax season reminds me a of Christmas. We all know it is coming (and when) and yet people panic about either lack of money (Christmas) or time (taxes). The truly frugal thing to do is take time out weekly or monthly to save, file and keep track of taxable and deductible paperwork for taxes so that when the new year comes around you have what you need and getting your taxes done should be an easy process. Just like buying (or making) Christmas presents throughout the year so that you will be ready when the time comes.
