We get back about $1500 from federal, largely because of my wife's grad school tuition. We owe a couple hundred to the state and to the city so we'll net about $800. Better than the $3k we owed a few years ago. Also, fuck you IRS. Just because.

  
  Yeah, we're still paying on the $15,000 we owed last year. It was awful.

  $15k? WTF?
• gerb131

  

  Haven't got a refund since 05, IRS garnishes it each time. Only around 3,200 left to pay and I'm free and clear.

  Huh ... I said the same thing.

  My plan to do them today hit a snag, since the library is closed at 4 p.m. on Saturday apparently and I need to pick up a form or two (school district). Looks like I'll be a last-day-filer this year. Which is like it is most years.

  I got $1500 back federal and about $200 state.

  Freedom is not free and neither are the services that benifit us all. I wrote checks totaling $2,000 to state, federal, and local.

  I need to drop my City taxes tomorrow. Nice knowing We'll get over $200.00 back from them...since we overpaid last year.
• Sonofanump

  I think it comes out to about 22%
• Big_Mirg_ZHS

  

  300 back from fed, 175 from state and just wrote a check for 350 for the first quarter of city taxes this year and what wasnt paid from last year.
• dlazz

  TurboTax didn't say anything about my city tax, so I think I'll be OK.
  
  Or be audited and go to jail.

  No way, it has to be closer to 35%-40%. Sales tax alone is approx 6.5%.

  It's worth it, though, because we have roads and shit.

  Yes, but much of what one spends their money on is exempt, so the effective sales tax rate is far lower.
• WebFire

  My effective fed and state tax rate was 1.11%. So much for the middle class paying all the taxes.

  And it's not nearly enough.
  
  But that's a major problem - everyone should feel the pain of govt excess, even if margina (and i'm not talking about social insurance)

  Hopefully you live in some small city/village with no prosecution code & ordinances for residents who don't pay the tax.
  
  Some small cities/villages send deliquent city taxes owed to a collection agency.

  I use TurboTax every year. Great program, as no one in the country understands the tax code. Between two of my kids returns and my taxes, I still spent 6 hours putting it all together. When I printed my federal forms off, it was about 25 pages, had forms I never heard of, had calculations I never would have considered, and was confusing as hell to read. At the end of the day, I have absolutely no freakin idea if I did them correctly, lied, or was completely ignorant of the rules like Tiger Woods. Great system we have here. And next year, we have to deal with all of the ObamaKare bullshit on our tax forms. Super. Can't wait. :rolleyes:
