Watching My Figures
Yeh, I am losing weight to get into a decent suit for Lovely Daughter’s wedding (in 2 weeks), but that’s not what this post’s about. It’s about figuring things closer so the IRS has less of our $$ to screw around with over the course of the year.
Better with the IRS this year. Owed ‘em about $100. Notsogood with the state. Refund about twice what we owed the feds. Have to work on that. Want it to come out at the end of the year at zero-zero. Getting closer, but still not there yet.
Better yet would be the FairTax. Then I’d not have to pull my hair out by the roots once a year when it came time to sit down with tax software… And that’s just one of many, many benefits the system would bring. (See my left sidebar.)

Getting a refund means the government had had the loan of my money for the past (however long), interest free. If I come out getting nothing back, then I have had the money’s use, NOT the government.

What’s wrong with getting a refund? ‘Splain, loocy.
