2007’s first p2 ‘victim’

Cassie’s vet bill is the first piece of paper to be scanned into p2 (aka Paperless Project) in 2007, and it was relatively easy to drop it into the scanner (the MP 530 this time since the ScanSnap doesn’t like stapled-on credit crad receipts etc.) and then dispatch the paper doc to the recycling bin.
The big test for p2 will be preparing 2006 taxes: we alway try to get them done in January or early February, and our ace tax man Ed Sallee is good at prodding us to get things done and in. Other than federally-mandated paper copies of expenses, most everything here is in PDF in p2 this year - bank statements, credit card statements, charitable deduction letters et al. There’s some paper left over from before we began p2 in earnest last September or so (we did back-scan a ton of stuff from an overstuffed file drawer), but so be it.
All of our incoming interest statemants, W2s etc. will be scanned (and preserved as paper, just in case) and sent down to Ed as as a PDF package… I want to see if this is any easier for all involved. It’s still taxes, but maybe the administrivia will be easier…
