it!!!
I really am a frustrated tax accountant I guess. Maybe that's a direction I could move into. I'm still awake, just having finished our taxes, and it seems like every year is an adventure. I feel like I'm wandering around discovering new things.
The thing I discovered this year was the Making Work Pay Tax Credit. I don't know how I missed that, in fact that must have been the reason they reduced our withholding so much in the middle of the year.
Anyway, instead of paying in the low $300s, we get a $400 something refund. Good stuff.
Btw, does anybody else on here utilize the method of paying two years worth of property taxes in same calendar year? For example, in 2007, I paid in January and December, so I could deduct both years worth on my return in April 2008.
Used the standard deduction the next April, then paid property taxes in January and December of 2009, so I could itemize this year.
Every other year strategy, I discovered the idea, then ran it past our guy at church who works for the IRS. He said, yes, that's a legitimate strategy people use.
