So what's so wrong with filing zero? I don't care about the government as long as I get my money back.


Bc you are given them an interest free loan. IE you are losing money. The time value of money is a powerful thing and you are on the losing end here.

No I'm not. I keep all my money in a checking account anyways. No interest unless I have savings account.

geez, I guess some people are just so bad with money, they'd rather the government hold it for them.

I'd rather the extra $416 \ month, but that's just me..

How the hell can you get $416 a month in interest?

I meant that the $5000 extra you're sending to the government could be yours to use on a monthly basis. money now is always greater than money later. but hey if you like to give out interest free loans, more power to ya.

Well you could be taking that $416 a month and investing it in something other than an interest free loan to the federal government.

Anyways, I'm going to talk to our accountant at work to have him reduce the % of fed taxes being deducted each pay to keep more of my money in my pay each period cause I need money.
