taxes

[sofadriver]

Just finally got up off my lazy ass (well, I didn't actually get up ) and did my taxes.
42 minutes.
Lovins me somes free on-line tax prep / e-file / direct deposit!  Yeah, BABY !
The refund's already burning a hole in my pocket! 
(all I have to do is file 79 more times and I can afford that NCR M4 I've been a'hankerin for  )

it was messy.

But we got back everything federal we paid personally

I think I can deal with the government keeping some of my money for a few more years .

The wife and I broke almost even this year.  Had to pay a little on Federal and got some back on State to cover that.  Big difference seeing as last year we got $2k back.  =(

How much do you have withheld from each paycheck?

Ask your CPA....but to keep it simple...if you are a W2 employee, up your claimed deductions. For instance, instead of claiming married 2, claim married 6.
