Sometimes you just need to scream!!!

I suppose I should go get my taxes done, huh?

You could wait until Saturday like everyone else...

 

[engineergurl]

The thing is, my CPA already filed an extension for me because he rocks, I was having trouble getting all the paperwork together, so he hooked me up...

 

[Master slacker]

Just e-filed ours. $472 back to ye olde pocket book. Yee-haw

 

[Supe]

I will be e-filing later this week (just need to check over some stuff), but I'll be getting back around $5200 from Uncle Sam (well, $400 of it from the state) thanks to buying a house last April. First time I've EVER made out by itemizing, rather than standard deduction. Even with the standard deduction, it would have been about $3k back just from the withholdings after filing Single 1. In all honesty, I'm just thrilled not to owe after being mercilessly reamed two years ago due to an HR mistake.

Though part of that is deliberate, since I switched from maxing out the traditional 401k to maxing out the Roth 401k last year (but I'll never pay tax on that money again).

I wouldn't count on that at all.

I won't tell you all how much we are getting back because than you will all hate me... but I am a happy girl.

Oh don't worry, the tax man will have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Because I seemingly make fatty money, Uncle Sam sent me a bill for ~$3100 this year. The joys of claiming 0...

The amount of refund is irrelevant, that's just dependent on how much you had withheld. The real question is the amount paid, in percentage of gross income.

Well I can say 0% state taxes, and I suppose you want that percentage over the entire income (not just the taxable part), so we dished out a little less than 7% that they kept. Rolled over losses again for next year.

Mighty bold talk for a one eyed fat man.

Almost 21%

I sent 16% to the feds alone, plus the standard 4.2% for SS and 1.45% for Medicare. Not exactly sure how much more we paid for state, but it was close to 4%. All said and done we paid close to 26%...

It should go down this next year once we get a year's worth of mortgage interest to itemize.

 

[YMZ PE]

Mmm...Copy Pasta.

 

[snickerd3]

i think we pay between 12 and 15 % if i remember the top sheet from turbox tax print out.

Mine was 21% with 8 months mortgage interest!

 

[envirotex]

7.5% of adjusted gross on last year's taxes...I'll tell you this year's after tomorrow when I finalize everything. It will be close.

Because I live in the great state of Texas with no income tax, I am also fortunate enough to pay astronomical property taxes...about $12K this year...that means an extra $1000 to our housing expense every month...

Property taxes at my place: 0.78% which equates to ~$3100 per year.
