It’s Tax Reporting Month

March is always a busy month at the office. It’s time to submit the yearly tax report so everybody, especially those at finance/accounting department, is busy preparing company’s tax report. Though I’m at legal dept, somehow they manage to drag me into this crazy season. I’ve been working late lately checking documents submitted by our auditors. Oh I really wish this month to be over soon.

I also need to submit my own yearly tax report by the end of the month and up till today I still haven’t had time to meet my consultant yet. Sometimes I think it’s easier to combine my tax report with my husband’s. As a married woman I can and been advised to do that.  However, since I got my own tax ID before I got married, I chose to submit my own tax report and I’m telling you it’s so time consuming and getting more complicated year by year.

I’m not sure, maybe I should reconsider the “combining” option and let my husband takes care of my tax. But the idea of him knowing every penny I make just doesn’t work for me. He knows, or at least has a general idea, about my salary, but there are other income that related to my side of family that I want to keep it for myself. Does it sound right? Does your spouse know all of your money?
