Getting a little back from the feds and the state... owe the city some money though... all in all it is basically a wash this year...

NYB,

AMT is a problem for many people... back when is started a small number of folks had to deal with the headache, now a fifth or so of the population gets to deal with the headache....

And it seems to nail middle-class to upper-class taxpayers with many children more often than it hits it's targets, the high earners with large deductions amounts.

What a pain in the ass.

Due to stuffing the 401IK's, some charitable contributions, and my doing grad school at night, we got a surprisingly large amount back, which was very nice despite the "you suckers paid too much all year" aspect of it. Our taxable income was somehow only 42% of our gross income. To be honest, it seems too good to be true to me, but we went to H & R Block for the convenience and gave them legit. info. and that's what they came up with so I'm not turning it down. We also paid the minimal fee for their guarantee so in case they did screw up it's their problem rather than ours.

Just reading through this thread unless you own a business, do not brag about getting $2,700 back from taxes. It shows your ignorance towards money management. If you work for someone your goal should be $0.00
back and and actually maybe pay a little. Uncle Sam does not pay interest!
It makes me sick that people I actually work with "brag" about how much they are getting back. One fellow employee even told me that it was his "savings" for the year. Some really dumb fuckers out there. Of course the dude was in his late 20's. Wake up you youngins. You probably believe Social Security will be there when you retire!!!!!!
