You don't want to know the size of the check I wrote the gov't today. Not an easy thing to do. Sigh.

At least Obama gets to spend it, and not Bush.

And I still have no idea how you guys get refunds. I'll never understand that.

Ways to get a tax refund:

1. Pay crap-tons of taxes out of each paycheck.

2. Have an unemployed spouse.

Although, anonymous, if you are still planning on being a stay-at-home dad I might not recommend #2.

Yeah. That's the thing. Being self-employed, I had NO withholdings all year long, which means I pay it all at once. Plus, the self-employment tax, and that leads to one psychologically hard check to write come April 15... sigh.
