Fact #7
From an empirical viewpoint, the problem with Free Will (and causality) is reconciling determinism and freedom to make sense of morality.

A) Enter “1” for yourself if no one else can claim you as a dependent __1____
b) Enter “1” if: ● You are single and have only one job; __1____
So when I add those lines together, I get 2.

I ran a calculator, estimating what I'd make for 2009, and it suggested 9 allowances, based on previous years' refunds.
I went a little more conservative and put in 7, and my withholdings for 2009 was about HALF of 2008.
I did buy a car this year, as well as energy efficient windows, and made less in 2009 than 2008, so that will bridge the gap somewhat. But I'm still almost certain to owe; just not sure if it will be enough for a penalty. FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS.

Re: Taxe Refund?
I gotta go through my W2 from last year, but I don't know how this year's refund went from $1,200 to $16 after I put my second W2 (I have two jobs) into the database. Same two jobs as last year...something seems fishy. I claim 0 because I'm not a responsible member of society.
Re: Taxe Refund?
I had to fill out a W4 yesterday that was like 15% of the size it was supposed to be, since the person who printed it out is a hippie and didn't want to waste ink/energy/whatever. I didn't have a microscope with me, so I just put ones on all of the little dashes and signed my name. I used to claim 0 all of the time, but then realized I didn't know WHY I did that. So I changed it to '1' and I'll just hope it doesn't result in loss of freedom by physical restraint...

Re: Taxe Refund?
Well it didn't do shit for me. My refund was about $10 different than last year.hana maru wrote:this i don't know! i should find out before taking it...Introvert wrote:I guess I'd like to know a bit more about this "making work pay" credit.
Is it another 'stimulus' type thing that I'm going to have to claim on next year's state taxes?
$400 extra $bux sounds great but how exactly is this going to screw me?

Re: Taxe Refund?
What's the average, percentage-wise, you guys paid federal this year? As in, what percentage of your income went to federal taxes withheld. I'm not around my paperwork from last year, but I am just shocked at the difference in size of my refund.
Perhaps no MDF for me, after all.

Got 500 back from state and 20 bux back from federal. Just what I expected.... I didn't think I would cut the federal that close though....

Re: Taxe Refund?
i ended up getting back $548 federal, but owe the state $24. Lame.
Although the day i got my federal return back, i also got a 1098-T for 2009 from the college i'm going to. Which is weird, since it's for a class that didn't start (and wasn't paid for) until 2010. Huh.

Incalculably stupid, i trust you'll agree.

Re: Taxe Refund?
I usually allow them to take as much as possible out because I straddle tax brackets, if I make too much I might not have the money when they come to ask, so I'd rather them give me back money.

Re: Taxe Refund?
Federal = 3,400. It was 3K last year.
State = I owe 1 dollar bucks. I always seem to break even with the state, last year was a $1 buck refund.
