Re: Official Tax Thread - Grumpyguy - 04-15-2007
honestly, I'd be rich if I didn't pay so many taxes.
I went back to tax cut this year, because the Turbo Tax was some damn expensive when I was out looking.
But that being said, Turbo Tax, imho is better in that it seems to ask you all the right questions, whereas Tax Cut seems to forget a few things.

.... and don't forget www.taxact.com is free. Free computation and free e-filing. Easy!

I used Tax Cut for about the 8th year. The difference this year is that I did it on the Mac; previously I've always used the PC version. Worked fine but didn't seem as polished as the other platform.
Unfortunately, not only am I paying about $1500 in additional taxes, I realized I only take home about 53% of my gross. The rest is taxes and other withholding. If I took home my take home, I'd be rich!

OUCH! What's the other withholding? Insurance...?

[quote mrbigstuff][quote PeterB]I'm sorry, but I just don't know that I like the idea of all of these companies having all our personal financial info...
neither do I . but with TT you have the option of printing the forms at the end of the process, no?
Yep. That's what I did previously (TT, then print at the end). Taxact.com looks good, but again I'm not sure I like the idea of a third-party company having all my financial info.
rgG is correct in that apparently we need to be worried about the IRS having the info. On the other hand, the IRS is apparently losing a lot of money to tax cheats, the lower-end income ones mostly: http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/Taxguide/story?id=3039409&page=1

All that's left to do is put the check in the mail.
I had to pay in $1200 this year. It's not the end of the world. I saved up with the worst case scenario in mind. After federal and state taxes are paid, there's still money left over.
