Nexa usually posts this, but since she's pre-occupied with the alien residing in-utero, I'm just doing the annual reminder.
Just got my W-2 at the office. Waiting on Ray's W-2 for his old federal contractor positions. But we're not expecting more than a $2500 net tax refund. I really miss when he was on deployment overseas. Those $8000 tax refunds were fun.

I can't get too excited, My tax refunds haven't been great in recent years. Still, I should get a refund, and regardless of how much I always consider it a nice little start for the new year.
I might use it to help get a new pc.

I'll be paying the government taxes this year, for the first time.

My taxes are going to be complicated this year, and when the IRS turns on I'm going to go ahead and file an extension. I have stock issues and moving expenses and a new state return to worry about. Maybe even some Lifetime Learning Credit things to apply for.

You know you can either elect to have your other job withhold more taxes to compensate, or make estimated payments every quarter, right?

Well NOW I do
I'm more annoyed that I need to actually purchase a tax program each year because of my job with ZAM; I'm considered something like a contracted employee, which makes the tax side of it allllll funky. Standard TurboTax isn't able to take care of it.LockeColeMA wrote:

ETA: Oh, and the fact that you have to buy the software to file your taxes specifically for that 1099 might mean you can write the expense of the software off. I'll find out, if you like.

Baby didn't come in 2011 so we missed out on a tax bonus.

Baby has to be around for the year before you he counts. When Joph v3.0 was born in Oct '10 we thought we'd get a tax break off him in our 2010-2011 taxes but nope.

You're a 1099; my husbands been a 1099. one year it was a bit much because he had three contracts, one was a w2, one was a 1099 and one never sent him his form so I got to do extra paperwork for that :(
I use turbotax though and seriously love it. Also, if you are a 1099, potentially there are a LOT more tax deductions that you might qualify for; remember you can write off a portion of your "home office". If you want a professional to file for you, use a CPA.
Also, if the work get's too difficult, I'll gladly take your job ;)

No, you've avoided loaning the government your hard-earned coins for free. That's a good thing.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

That's not true. If your kid is born any time in the year, they're considered in that tax year. Dunno who did your taxes for 2010, but you need to get that **** amended if you can.

I should actually get something back this year. It sucks that the State takes forever to send up out W-2's

By law, they have to be out by 1/31/12. If you don't have it by 2/15/12 you can raise a fuss.

Just as Planned.
I end up paying the state, and get back a couple hundred from the federal.
Locke, my seasonal tour work is also contractual. I get a 1099 and I use one of the free programs. So you don't have to pay. I let the program do all the work, then do the manual filing myself to save a few bucks.
