Damn these taxes. It looks like I finally finished them today on Turbo-Tax. B/c S did not work hardly at all last year our income went down, but then so did our taxes. I'm just frustrated b/c I save every damn little receipt through the year on every last little possible deduction and this year it doesn't make much of a difference b/c the standard deduction is still higher. Damn! I am going to have to adjust my W-4 at Job #2 eventually to help out with next year's almost-certain tax blow, but I'm thinking I'll do that sometime in the early fall. I still need that extra $ to make as much of a dent in this debt as possible, right now!
BTW I HATE it when people talk about getting a tax return. I want to shake them and say, "You stupid idiot!" The 3 years I've been filing married-jointly have been ok, except for last year which sucked b/c I made all that extra $ at my 2nd job(s). The 1st year we were married we had to pay $700+, which is almost tolerable. Last year sucked and we paid $2,200--OUCH!!! This year looks like we'll be out $500+. Now that's more about the right speed, but if I adjust my W-4 hopefully we won't be pinched too bad next year again.
