So, getting ready for taxes for 2014 has really made me wish I could have kept everything more organized for the year. SOOO I am getting things going for 2015 so this time next year I'm not as stressed out. :) I got this idea from on of my team members. She said to purchase a Fold N File and set up folder for each month and put receipts and anything else you might need in it for tax time.

I really wanted to do this and thought I would have to wait to be able to order one and get all of this set up. Who doesn't want everything to be cute and organized?
Well, I finally decided that since I already have three filing cabinets here at my house, two of which aren't even being used, I should save some money and just make use of them. Maybe one day I will get myself on of the Fold N Files but for now this will work.
So, as I started getting things together to set up this system I found that I don't have the file folders to do this like I thought. SO, yet again I had to improvise. Well, I have a TON of pocket folders left over from last year when I was teaching so I decided that I could use them just as well. SO, I got the folders out and looked online for some cute printouts of the months to label each one.
Then I got the hanging folders and labeled them for each month and put the folders in there. TA-DA we have a filing system to keep things ready for tax season! :) The filing cabinet was in my classroom last year. My darling husband painted it for me. It is chalkboard paint with a pretty border! :) I love it but have yet to try using chalk on it. :)
What do you all use when organizing your tax stuff. Share your systems here!
