Did you file your taxes yet?

[Quasimoto]

Did mine on TurboTax.  I received my W2 the second week of January and filed last week.  Can't wait to get some $$$ back.  I'll kick it towards something nice.  Like a day at the spa.

I think we mentioned this last year, but it's very generous for you to give the government an interest-free loan of that size.


ill say this again as you probably cant fathom the idea but i dont mind in the slightest paying the amount of taxes i do...i have a top notch existence...do i wish the money i paid was was better spent...ie on those less privledged than myself...absofarginlutely

I've used Tax Cut the past few years, and it's pretty easy. What's nice is that it saves a lot of nuisance entering all the personal info (names, SS numbers, etc) because it imports the data from the previous year. I basically just need to update the numbers, and it's good to go.

I did refinance this year, so it'll be a little trickier...but not too much.

I also withhold way more than I should. I'll be interested to see how different it is with 6 months or so of lower mortgage interest. Regardless, I'll see what I can adjust after I get to the bottom line.

Once I'm done with that, then I have to work on TWO of the FAFSA forms for my kids. And those suck worse than the 1040 ever did.

FAFSA is a bitch.  They take forever.

Gov't job, so I got my W2 quick. Haven't filed yet, what with it being in a different country than I am at the moment.

No. I still havn't paid off last years taxes.  I'm self-employeed so my taxes are alittle more in-depth than most.  I got to an accountant. First year I went to H&R Block and paid 199.95.  Next year I was referred to this accountant who did more for me and let me know about some other options and charged less than $50.  This will be my 3rd year going to them. I hate tax season.

Do you file quarterly?

You absolutely 100% missed my point.  Why not pay the same amount of taxes, but not overpay over the course of the year?  Assuming you get paid twice a month or every two weeks, you would take home $200+ more every paycheck.

My comment had absolutely nothing to do with how many taxes you're paying - only when you're paying them.

id much rather have a lump sum once a year than to have extra in each check

Then, you should withhold as a "SINGLE 0" and also put on your W-4 that you want maybe $800 or so extra taken out of each paycheck.  Your lump sum at tax time would be way bigger.  Super awesome fantastic!

no i just need enough to pay for my eagle season tickets and a little play money on top of that....usually vacation money that i normally would never say on my own...this does it for me and it feels like free money when you get that fed check....now thats super awesome fantastic....holla

That's the feeling you get when you get a lump sum of cash and the government doesn't take a large chunk of it as usual.  You're a libertarian and you don't even know it.

[ice grillin you]

pretty sure libertarians dont like paying taxes period much less have no problem paying taxes at their current level much less be willing to pay mroe taxes...

so im pretty much the exact opposite of a libertarian

[Diomedes]

[ice grillin you]

he wants me to hate paying taxes as much as he does....why i dont know
