We survived, I think. Owe again for the second year, clearly, we need to make some adjustments. Watched over Mikaela's shoulder as she did her first return, that has to suck...
All the better reason to owe at the end of the year. The taxes are all the same in the end. You might as well have and use your money. Its not like the Govt pays you interest on it. But you bet your Arse if you owe the IRS they will be charging you interest.
I owe every year, and usually pay a small fine for that priveledge. This year may be interesting though, as my income was next to nothing the whole year....not looking forward to all the paperwork, but interested to see if I zero out this year. Did I mention how much I despise giving half my income away for the priveledge of living here? Feels a lot like an immigrant restauranteur in new york in the early 1900's paying the mafia for "protection".
