Yeh, I am losing weight to get into a decent suit for Lovely Daughter’s wedding (in 2 weeks), but that’s not what this post’s about. It’s about figuring things closer so the IRS has less of our $$ to screw around with over the course of the year.
Better with the IRS this year. Owed ’em about $100. Notsogood with the state. Refund about twice what we owed the feds. Have to work on that. Want it to come out at the end of the year at zero-zero. Getting closer, but still not there yet.
Better yet would be the FairTax. Then I’d not have to pull my hair out by the roots once a year when it came time to sit down with tax software… And that’s just one of many, many benefits the system would bring. (See my left sidebar.)
What’s wrong with getting a refund? ‘Splain, loocy.
Getting a refund means the government had had the loan of my money for the past (however long), interest free. If I come out getting nothing back, then I have had the money’s use, NOT the government.
