I just filed our taxes (Fed and stupid ass CA). After I received the confirmation I was going though all of our mail (it has piled up) and shredding and tossing crap. AFTER I filed (and it was acepted with in the hour) I found a 1099 misc from a side job my husband did and a 1099-S from the sale of our house. The 1099-S wont affect anything because I already had the figures on the tax return, I just hadn't checked the 1099-S form box. You can't write off a loss of a sale of a house anyway, we lost just over $121k. :puke: My mom had mailed them to us in a bubble envelope with some magazines and stuff that had come to her house and I just never opened it. I could kick myself.
BUT with the new 1099 misc it will add an addition $4k to our taxes and now I have to file an amended return. You can't electronically file it either, you have to mail it in. I'm so pissed at myself.
I am all exhausted now. I also filed my son's returns (both Federal and Ohio). Little turd is getting back almost $5k.

Oof. Ouch. :(
-
Probably getting back just over 1k.

Getting an Income Tax refund just means you floated an no interest loan to Uncle Sam.

We need a continuum with Taxes on one end, and Texas on the other.

Anyone want to guess how much we paid in total Fed taxes?

If you paid anything close to what we did, it was over $30k.

yeah, it amazes me every year a guy I work with is so pleased with the refund he gets back. I told him it is because he is paying too much in his check but he doesn't seem to care. he likes getting a "gift" from the govt every year.
btw, I have to write out checks totalling 4,300 for Fed and state due to some stock the wife and I sold this year to buy my daughter a car. I'm waiting for the last possible moment before parting with the $$$. Wish I could pay them in pennies....

According to 0'Bama, nowhere close to your "fair share." :panic:

capital gains taxes for 2011 are all over the board. If you do this and sell that then the rate is XX but if you do that and sell this the rate is XX, or if you are like me and roll capital gains over into perpetuity. My estate can pay the bill :yahoo:

I doubt the Obamas ever paid $120k in taxes. Hell, I don't even think they paid that much for a home that was appraised at $300k. Tony Rezko probably did their taxes for them in addition to dabbling in a little real estate.

We had to pay an additional $3k this year (over what was withheld). Next year that amount will incur a penalty so we had to adjust our W-4s accordingly.
I would rather owe an extra few hundred each year at tax time than get back a huge refund. I don't care to give the idiotic government an interest free loan.

Try over four times that. I highly doubt my husband made four times what you made.

Oh and the reason my son is getting that much back is because we paid his college off. We can't claim it because we "make too much money". The college debt was in his name so I wrote it off on his taxes. You only get a percentage of the total amount paid (a percentage of what he made at his job) but I'll be damned if I'm not going to take the credit for him.
DUmmies that cry about the "rich" paying their fair share also need to know that you lose deductions as you make more money too. If one of them were standing in front of me right now I would punch them in the face, then kick them between the legs for good measure.

Same here, and I also H5ed you, BEG. :-*

No thanks. I paid enough all by my widdle lonesome.
The only reason I got anything back was because of the mortgage interest. Unfortunately, until I have dependents, I am stuck giving Unca Obammy an interest-free loan every year.

Tell me about it--when I was married and living in CA, before the economy turned to warm runny shit, we made enough to the point where even putting into an IRA for the ex wouldn't have knocked our AGI down any.
And a few years back, I made enough to where that "gimme" that Nancy Pelosi bragged about didn't apply to me, even being married/separate.

I'm too depressed to comment on this subject. I'm going to go look at LOLcats.
They're talking dirty in there! :panic:

Only one amended return? I had to go back five years and file hundreds of corporate returns (obviously for work) because of an adverse IRS ruling that affected them all. All sorts of different states for real estate LLC's. That was quite the challenge.
It happens all the time for personal taxes, BEG. Don't be too down on yourself.

I am thinking we will get back some money........................fingers crossed!

BEG, I hate to rain on your parade, but what you and your husband paid in federal taxes last year won't even pay for 40 minutes' worth of operating Air Force One.
I'm sure Barry would appreciate the extra cash to get just a wee bit closer to an hour -- that would cover one of his dozens of Dem fund raisers that he's attended. :whatever:

They're "Fun" raisers. The fundraising is a bonus.

The Bush tax cuts are set to expire at the end of this year. Another reason to vote in more Repubs in Congress and the W.H.

Romney is a commie/FR mode off.

Under $800. The double $400 credit (head of household) expired. One of Big O's "stimulus" schemes.

No you are not.You can claim as many exemptions throughout the year as you wish. it's when you file your taxes you can only claim the proper number. I dunno if it's still the same but the rule of thumb used to be for each exemption claimed your take home increased by $50.

I love the word "scheme" when applied to a lib. They try to use it, undeservedly, to describe many conservative plans, to discredit them. But when used on a lib it is so much more appropriate, and delicious.

I would prefer someone else but it looks like we are stuck with him. He might surprise us all. He was caught on a hot mike saying he would abolish HUD and cut back on many agencies. That would be great for starters.

Sorry, but I just don't see Romney doing much to reduce the imprint of government. Most RINOs are perfectly okay with huge, bloated bureaucracies that justify not only their own existence, but those of the RINOs' too.

The thing here is this: There's going to be more Tea Partiers in the Republican caucuses in both the House and Senate, in the next Congress. There will be enough, and the din of the economic doom and gloom that will follow if spending isn't reined in will be played out in Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Italy, France, Germany--pretty much the entire EU. There will be too many sources that will point to the fact that this will be the United States of America if we don't cut way back.
Will this be listened to? Probably.

Just cut the checks today.
North of $5,000.00.
Oh well, still drawin a breath I guess.
