    Filed and had my return early in February. Only once in my life did I have to pay in and that is when I let HR BLOCK do my taxes.

    I paid my $3400 tax bill Friday....I was going to do payment but last time I did that they decide to do a full blown audit so im trying to avoid all that this time...ive been audited 3 times in my life, that seems excessive to me...I guess once they find a paying customer they just keep picking every scab they can to milk you dry...

    yes, once you've been audited, for the next few years, the likelyhood of another audit increases.

    PS: Our wonderful State of California requires a $800 Corporation Estimation payment today (Ca form 100ES), even though we did owe anything to the state. No wonder businesses are bailing out of this bankrupt state!

    I never understood why some people are so happy giving the government a large interest free loan?

    If you had invested that $8500 and only got a 7% return you would have made almost $600 for doing nothing.

    I "loaned" the government a mere $400 of which they gave me back a couple months ago.

    I don't know how your tax laws work in the US But here in Australia it's fkd! I run a business with employees we have a tax we do every 1/4 for the business then personal tax end of financial year then we have payroll tax superannuation and the list goes on. You think your starting to get ahead then you get hit with tax ?

    I look at it the same way. 3 years ago I got back $7500 so I adjusted my dependents. The next year I got back $5000 so i adjusted my dependents again. This year I got back $1500. Still to much so i will adjust it again but I think they will do some of it for me since it seems certain tax credits keep getting smaller on their own.

    You guys do realize what a Tax Loophole is dont you? Anyone who has a child dependent tax credit, mortgage interest credit, charitable contributions you are using a Tax loophole.

    Dont let the terminology fool you into thinking it's something bad or something only the rich get. Getting rid of these Tax Loopholes will effect all of us and not in a positive way.

    Wow 11K? WAY to much. You need to fix that or just loan me 11K for a year and ill give you back 11K next year...
    The smart thing to do is adjust your paycheck so they take out a LOT less and put that extra into a 401K or Ira. Every time I have gotten a raise over the last 7 years I adjust my 401K contribution so my paycheck stays the same. What you dont get you will never miss but it will add up quickly.

    In aus they take the tax out of your pay before they give it to you then you apply for a refund.

    They do in the US also but you can adjust your W4 Employees withholding allowances such as the number of dependents. It really does not matter how many dependents/kids you have you can change it to whatever you want so they either take more taxes out or less. If you have them withhold to little then you have to pay in. It's best to try to set it so it's a wash where you dont pay in and they dont owe you or they owe you very little.

    If you think about it how fair is it they hold onto $11K for they whole year and pay you no interest?

    well i dont think its quite that simple considering i get a big bonus in december, therefore prob 60% of my yearly income they have for less than 6 months.. (unless u factored all that in??) its not like i give em $8500 on Jan 1 and ask for it back the following jan 1..

    also its kind of like a savings account for me that i cant touch all year. otherwise itd just get blown on sodas, gum, car washes, clothes, and other bullcrap miscellaneous stuff.

    but im glad ur system works for u.. mine works for me
