Guess I better start having some kids.....

I gave my 10% to "Jeezus" and "gawd"

that, plus my 3 kids got me nearly $6000 back this year. :thumbup:

I've changed my deductions so that I don't give out so much of a free loan to the govt again.

===

I've got to figure out where those illegals get their SS#s so I can get one for my cat.
 
....But I spent it on new carpeting for the house.
Baby spit up, pets, mud, and grease(from, uh...me) killed the carpet.

So I guess it's a wash...
 
Become a photographer.

You can write off damn near everything.

My XJ for instance. Oil, gas, Bumper, winch, tires, roofrack, new dash, stereo, etc. Just keep damn accurate track of your mileage.

My jeep is one hell of a write off.

Oh, yeah. Vacation was too. Photo safari. Just sell a few pics and write something.

Every tax place tells me the same thing: keep all receipts and write it off.

Yea, but I bet you're still not sucking out of the govt 1/2 as much as 1 illegal!

by the way - I still have the picture you took of the Colorado baloon as my desktop background. Thanks!:thumbup:

Did you do the taxes yourself?? Something doesn't seem right at all, Troy...

Why are you paying taxes on your 401K? You shouldn't have to pay anything until you start withdrawing from it. Also, are you paying income tax before or after your 401K deduction?

Married, no kids, homeowner, i made $30K more last year than the year before with the dayjob, Laurel added about $10k PLUS both of our investments did really well... We're definitely in a high tax bracket and we're getting back $900 after paying our CPA.

If you want the name and number of the firm we use, let me know. She's a pain in the ass because she's always wanting random stuff from us but in the end, it's ALWAYS worth the trouble of scrounging through the paperwork. She's located up in Northglenn.

I sleep with my CPA..... :D

My wife is a CPA and works for an accounting/audit firm - our return is correct. And no, I wasn't saying we pay taxes on the 401K, but after my contribution comes out, then the other benefit costs, then taxes.... it's just frustrating the amount it comes to. This year was a bit different because of having to take a little disability time which isn't taxed by my employer, we apparently didn't hold out enough on our own, and a couple other little changes in income caused this. Oh well huh? All I can do is bitch and pay.
 
That stinkin disability...I didn't realize that was taxable! Oh well, tax on 2/3 of not much should be managable. I guess I better find those check stubs also.

After my child support started, taxes, uniform fees, union dues, health ins: Fourty-some percent of my gross actually fell in my pocket. So yeah Troy, it was kind of ironic to me.
