This year I thought maybe since we had bought a house over a year ago, and then the whole marriage thing, we'd be getting some money back. Nah, gotta pay $850.

did you do your own taxes?

I still havent done mine, thanks for the reminder

yeah Dude these assholes!!! last year we got about 4k back and this year I own $1400 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif and thats minus teh child credit https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png

I get to do mine next week... looking at a minimum of owing about $1500 ... ******* government rapes you if you are self employed. Seriously... I pay taxes for what reasons? I ******* hate this country sometimes.. :(

Well my wife the accountant did the online filing, and then I reviewed it, and now we're printing it off to have someone else review it before we submit it. Gotta get 3 opinions before we pull the plug. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR It looks as though I can use my school loans on another section, which would put us in the positive $1250. But its complicated, so we're looking into that to see if I qualify. The part that got us was I made some money on the stock market, and it put us into the made too much money category....oddly enough we're broke. Thank the car addiction. I was expecting to take a hit there because I still needed to pay taxes on that money, but was also expecting to have more than enough from the mortage portion to cover it. Hopefully the school loan will work out in our favor, if not then I'll sell more stocks and break even that way.

as your forum tax preparer i have to say just be thankful a democrat isn't in office haha

Ah yes I'm very aware of various tax brackets throughout past administrations and I guess I shouldn't complain. I did 2 things smart this year, got married reducing taxes 10% and held my stocks for over a year reducing those taxes 10%. A total savings of about $3500 when we did the comparison. 8 years ago I think we would of been in the next bracket up, so we could of added another 10%. Taxes are fucked up, lol. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

yeah short term capital gains are a bitch...

We got a government fuckup where we got a huge tax return. I think it was for about $13,000 or something like that. We just stuck it in the bank and are sitting on it, waiting for the notice of their slip up.
