I hate taxes!!!!

We owe taxes once again! This time we owe $2300 to federal but we ARE getting a REFUND from the wonderful state of California for......get ready for this one.....$17!!! Yep $17 and you know we won't actually be getting that since the state is going to keep it and apply it to the taxes we are currently paying off, ones which I have no idea how much we owe since they haven't sent us a statement and they never answer the phone! Now we get to figure out how to now pay off another $2300. Looks like I may need a second job.

Have them take out the most possible from your paychecks this year and then an extra 25 or so each paycheck too. You really don't miss it and it will really help next year. We have extra taken out of Keith's checks and just get along without it.
Taxes will be the death of us all, but if we're dead at least we won't have to pay taxes anymore. Until they figure out some way to come and get you in the afterlife that is.

This doesn't sound quite right - usually you owe a bunch to FED and a smaller amount to STATE - it's usually in line. Not sure why you would owe such a huge amount to FED and STATE owes you a small amount. Either you owe both or they both owe you, but not so out of balance.
I agree with your mom. Have the most taken out each paycheck if you owe for more than a year or two in a row.

Last year we owed FED like $700 and state gave us a refund of $317. Not sure how that works out either. I do have extra taken out of my checks now. We owe for last year because I was not working and unemployement is taxable ( i always thought it wasnt). Hopefully next year we wont owe anything and they can give us a refund, that they will just keep anyway because we will still be paying off this year!!
