My tax return was just delivered by FedEx about 10 minutes ago.
I owe $2400, and now I get to make estimated tax payments of $600 every 3 months, first installment due next week.
There goes $3000 I didn't know I'd be 'spending' this week !!!

Ouch! Sux to be rich, don't it? ;)

ouch, and I complain about my £1400 council tax bill and I get 10 months to pay it.

Sounds like you need to visit the payroll dept. and have your withholding adjusted.
-
It's the first year I've had to pay, caught me a little off guard !
Looks like I need to increase my federal tax withholding by $100 per paycheck.

they got me too Bob but my big fat "Economic Stimulus" check will cover it even. One hand gives and the other takes it away. Sheesh
rich

Just wait 'til next year if Billary or that other leftist gets voted in and starts looking for extra cash to pay off all their campaign promises! I'm not looking forward to any of 'em this go-round and afraid we're all screwed whoever wins... But, now being practically at the poverty level I'm kinda looking forward to some of the handouts I missed out on back when I was a "rich" greedy ba$tard...

Well, I just got my tax return back and I owe $1600 - last year I think that we got back about $500. Business was better this year, but I didn't think that I had gotten that far behind as many of my customers were waaay behind in paying me. Well, I guess that it will buy off some sheik in Iraq for another week... :o

Man, you guys make me glad I'm poor!!! :P
This year I didn't get all my taxes back - I actually had to let them keep $16. [smiley=nopity.gif]

my property tax bill is due. I live in THE WORST county on the planet and am considering selling a motorcyle to pay these jerks to misalocate funds some more. Worst school system in the state, worst roads in the country- now you know why I like road trips. To get outa here!
[smiley=rifle.gif] God help our poloticians if im not riding!

Our gub'mint taxes those of us who actually save money. I recently read in the WS Journal that nearly 80% of American citizens now days have no, repeat NO, savings accounts or saving programs of any kind. Do you think these folks are living beyond their means? Duh!
Talk to a financial advisor about what you can do regarding non-taxable investments.
My wife and I are both employees of the local school district. We own our home (no mortgage deducts there), own three automobiles plus the latest R65 buy and have no, zip, nada monthly revolving charge account bills. Have one credit card that we utilize and pay off in full every month. No interest charges, ever. Interest paid bad... Interest earned good.
We also participate in our employer school district's 403b investment programs with pre-tax salary dollars. Consider hooking up with a broker who may save you from paying Uncle Sugar. Yes, the broker gets a piece of my pie but I'd rather pay her and myself that the crooks in DC.
Just don't stand still and bend over. Pay yourself, not the IRS. Start now!
