I’ve owed for the last 5 years. This year I’ve almost broken even. Fingers crossed next year.

No I stopped bitching about that years ago when I realized your crooked politicians were just going to keep taking more of my "earned" money and never fix any of those problems.

Trump's tax plan made it worse IMO.

Was your tax liability more or less than last year? Not the amount that you had to pay when you filed, but your tax liability over the whole year.

Very happy. More income in 2018 and paid less in taxes than for 2017.

Nah, the fine for not paying estimated is like $250. Worth it to me to not pay them.

Owed Federal and State for $5K total. Not bad considering the income I hadn't paid taxes on yet.

The increase in standard deduction was quite helpful this year, along with a new self-employed deduction.

Actually get a few back. Overpaid SS taxes because of a change in company ownership.

If you go to a store and see a $100 item on sale for $5 off and a $500 item on sale for $10 off, do you assume the $10 off is the better deal just because it's a higher dollar amount?

Use your fricking brain and learn percentages, idiot.

So all of your income comes from your employer? Some of us don't have that problem.

I claimed single/0 and still had to give back a significant chunk. Sure "more money to invest throughout the year" but I don't make enough money for that to make a significant difference, and it sure blows writing that check. Take the money that you're legally allowed to take out of each pay check, and leave me the frick alone.

Owed 3k to fed this year. I know why we owe most of it, and it doesn't have to do with our W-4's. Get back around 1k from state, not sure why
