just feel lucky you dont have to pay to the state

I owed four bucks...jerks

The ideal scenario is to owe. Getting money back simply means that the government is getting an interest only loan from you.

I will owe this year. A lot. Did very well with some real estate transactions. Won't know exactly how much until I meet with my CPA.

you are soo correct! you never get back what U paid into it, Owing IMO is the best situation if you actuaully think about it,

yet, alot of people don't pay in a dime, and get thousand'* "back" (basically welfare)

If you can afford it. I got enough bills as it is, without needing to pay Uncle Sam too. Did that for too many years when I was self employed.

The best scenario is to break even. But, since that'* almost impossible to figure out, I personally like to give 'em a bit too much, let 'em make some interest, and send me the change later....

while I do agree with U in ways I do not agree with that, A lot of people have to work to support thier kids, The Government takes soo much that I feel It'* only right for those people to get thousands back. I have no problem with people who work, people who don't that'* another story :?

it'* called EIC (earned income credit) these people get income tax "refunds" alot larger than the amont taken out of their checks.

Private contractor= must pay ~$2800 on $16,800. No return for me.

I'm getting money back from Federal, and 3 states -MN, NE, and WI. And then there is the $1800 in per deim reimbursement money to top that all off!!!!
