Earned $17,493 - Anyone want to guess what her tax refund amount was?

[BP]

The perception she might have of her quality of life might be skewed by the fact that it's almost free.

She'll use it as a down payment on a used Escalade or Navigator and will stop making payments on it in 6 months when it breaks down.

Paid taxes on over 90k this year and I'm looking at a $24 return. Makes my blood fucking boil.

I guess it is relative to what you paid. I am sure it was quite a bit but why so little back? I use a great CPA. Maybe you have heard of him.

You and Risa should go enjoy a nice meal at subway.

I get her 6" whenever I can.. it'll be nice to give her 12" for a change.

You don't want to spoil her. 12" and a slap, just to keep her honest.

Wish that would've been thought of when we used to wait in line for concert tickets a hundred years ago.

How do you "break even?"

I claim 0, get raped month to month and sometimes have to pay in 100 or sometimes pay in nothing.

A few periods into the year, take a pay stub and extrapolate the remainder of the year. Take projected income, deductions, exemptions, and use the tax tables to estimate what you'll owe. Compare that to the amount projected to be taken out of your checks and divide the remainder by the number of pay periods left in the year. Have your employer take out that amount as additional withholding each period. Of course, I'm not ballin' as hard as the rest of the board, but it works for me.

You're doing it wrong. Claim 15+ exemptions on your W-4 for 9 months out of the year, bank all the extra money, and then last few months of the year and bonus time file another W-4 with your payroll dept to change it to 0 exemptions and have extra withheld to get close enough to not incur the underpayment penalty. W-2 withholding is automatically calculated as having been paid in pro-rata over the whole year even if most of it was backloaded.
