I havnt done this years yet and will probubly wait until early april. Always a procrastinator.

When I see people getting a couple grand back, I'm like WTF? You let the gov. borrow that money, interest free. Usually they tend to be getting child tax credit and who knows what else.
Single childless people get screwed!

I changed around my withholdings and based on the difference in my check, it should be spot on. Which means for 2006 I might get $150 back, maybe $200. Changed withholdings in June. If I'm pretty close, I might flip them back in June or July again.

Me too and then they act like they pulled a fast one on the IRS too. LOL. Have you ever asked some one how much they paid? They always talk about what they got back.
Dont even think for a moment that the tax credit pays for kids. Unless your on welfare that is. They are still very expensive.

I'm sure this would apply to married with 3, or hell even 10 in Hoss' case. I wonder if he gets extra deductions for his extra shee errr wives?
I could see with multiple sources of income have a real PITA time getting it right. Luckily I don't have that. Only did a couple of years (K1 from a partnership). Now I get to file those "simplified" EZ forms. Yeah, whatever. Still just as damn long.

on the horse shed, i can salvage at least 90% of the materials, put it back up, and make sure that this time it's cross-braced (there was no sheathing on it to act as cross bracing). probably take a day or 2 to rebuild. not worth the insurance claim. and i think my deductible is $1000, so i don't wanna spend that either.
on the stihl, you made the right choice on the 16". but hey, in yer fancy new 'hood, you prolly can't burn anything, and all your neighbors will be calling the noise police when you fire-up that puppy!

Hhmmm, isn' that about the right size to cuddle up to on a cold freezing night[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Yep your right, not worth hassle of trying to say it was a 40x60 barn with rooling steel doors on all the stalls[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
The 16" is just the right size for what I need. And YES[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] We can burn wood in the new "hood"[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] To bad it only fits one log in it at a time though[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Anything bigger then 6" inches needs to be split[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] so I can get more than one log on the fire. It would not surprise me[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] if, someone complained to the Air Board that I burned on a "volunteer" No Burning night.

I've determined there is no other explanation.

They weren't playing with the intensity they needed to win. They should of blown the steelers away[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

After watching the replay, how could they call Rothlisberger in for a TD?? wasn't even close! the offensive pass interference was a joke, he never pushed the guy, he had his arm out, and the defender was going the other way. with one arm he pushed off?IMPOSSIBLE! Hasselback gets an illegal block call after he threw the INT and made the tackle on the ball carrier??WTF?? some WEAK holding calls on Seattle, especially when the standard wasn't the same when Pitts was holding. and the media usually doesn't hesitate to criticize bad calls, but Madden and Michaels must have been watching something different than the rest of us. seattle got jobbed. I'M BITTER!! AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!
