Well, apparently the fact that I have zero deductions on my W4 (meaning that they take the maximum amount out of my paycheck), combined with the fact that a large portion of my income comes from performance bonuses and overtime pay, both of which are taxed at a much higher rate (damn near 50% - I had $650 in overtime pay in my last paycheck.  About $375 ended up in my pocket), AND the fact that I bought a house last year and therefore have mortgage interest to write off, STILL wasn't enough to ensure that I wouldn't owe even more money at the end of the year. 

This is what happens when you have two incomes and no kids, and are up in a higher tax bracket. 

So the real question is, what will the federal government do with their tax bonus from me?

Pay for my wife's father's funeral. Assuming of course, I even get a tax return this year.

I thought tax rates were going up and we wouldn't get much back anymore?  Or is that next year?

Gotta do mine still, guess I will find out.

You should have noticed your paycheck being $15-20 less each week since the beginning of the year.

Let's see...

Take the family out for a nice, big meal at some overpriced place, give the kids a small amount so they can squander it on soft drinks and bubble gum, buy several articles of furniture that are unneeded but necessary for my penis to ever see my wife's vagina again, pay down my credit cards, pay off some medical bills that have prevented me from getting a home (yes, they screwed us enough to be denied a mortgage) and, maybe, just maybe, buy myself a nice Duo-R or RX. But that last part is fantasy. I work hard so my wife can buy furniture and the kids can get sugar buzzed.
