Money in bank account

[beachymama]

I have $10000 in the bank (amazing how much $$ you have when you don't pay your bills!). I have not filed yet.

I have held on to this money for getting current on my mortgage loan and paying the taxes, etc. to ride through. I know with my loan modification I have to pay 3 months of the mortgage, so I will get those in money orders and the taxes will be one check.

Is it ok to do that just before filing if I keep records of all the money orders I buy with the $10000?

I should be filing over the summer (just waiting for the school year to be done and over with).

Whatever you do, don't file until those funds have been disbursed out of your account.
