    I owed $700 even on my modest salary. It's ridiculous.
    I love private messages, visitor messages, etc.

    I just visited my CITY tax this morning. Apparently, I paid for 2013 taxes, but have to pay 2012 by quarter....with a $97.99 penalty.
    I have an easier time with FEDERAL and STATE than with CITY! They take all my money.

    The terror of paying taxes almost makes me wanna live in the woods, but even then the IRS would probably find a way to tax the tree I live in

    Mines been pretty low to the point that it's almost non existant but they took tax off a savings account when I was youngerand they weren't supposed to. It was about five hundred forms just to get the money back...

    Well, we do have several taxes that we have to pay - the joys of living in the USA.

    We have city tax (depending on where you live and work). I work in an area that has no tax, so all of the money goes to my city. If I did work in a tax area, the work area would be first and my city gets what's left.

    Then, there is state tax...the money is already taken out of my paycheck so when I file, The Federal final total is taken and what I actually gave is compared to a standard payscale list. This year, Ohio took too much money from my paychecks in 2012, so I get back the overage.

    Federal tax...same deal. It's taken out of my paycheck as well.....only with Federal, there are adjustments -
    I have to add savings account interest, IRA interest, 401K deductions, etc.
    I can subtract things from it - charity/church donations, mortgage interest paid throughout the year.

    A similar comparison is made and we get a refund for any overage or make a payment if we are short. The City makes it difficult because I apparently sent in a $980 check thinking it was 2012, but it was actually 2013 and got penalized for not making enough of a payment for 2012. That's why I had to stop by the office and talk to them - It is a two page form but makes no sense!

    geez. forget i even asked! i find that convoluted. i'm assuming you're self-employed. if you aren't, i believe you guys have a difficult tax system than we do. (or it just sounds too confusing to me.)

    You should with hold more then.

    I have someone who does my taxes for a very reasonable amount, a former accountant. She has been doing them for years. Mine are too complicated and I don't need the hassle. I wouldn't even attempt doing my own.
