Tax curfew tomorrow, do you know where your taxes are?

I filed mine today. I owed a ton, for some reason (payroll math), I didn't have enough withheld last year and got nailed this year as I ended up in a higher tax bracket. Basically stole the meager bonus I got this year (made even more meager by the ridiculous amount withheld).

My daughter didn't do her taxes yet.

I did mine in February and like you I owed a bunch.

@independentone It's ridiculous. I changed my W4 to single, now I'm taking home less, hopefully will not have to pay next year.

@BrewCityBarfly Don't be so sure, I had mine set at 0 dependents and still had to pay. I am grateful that I had saved enough last year that it was only an irritant to have to take money out of savings and not a scramble to find money to pay.

@independentone I did a computation based on the last check, and over the next 9 months should end up withheld as what I owed this year in total. Crossing my fingers.
