LOL @ that. I have accountants that do that shit for me and trust me, if there was a legal way to write off more than I do, I'd do it. Nearly everyone pays into taxes in some way shape or form. Just because you got X amount of dollars back at the end of the year doesn't mean you didn't pay in, just that you paid too much in and are deserving of a credit at years end. Also, I run a business (albeit a small business) so I am pretty much forced to pay in on that come year end/quarter end. It's not like I can make my customers pay my income tax at the exact moment they purchase something from me. Without getting into specifics, I will be owing quite a bit at the end of this year even though I own a house, run a business that has decent writeoffs, had a kid, am married and claim zero dependants (not even myself) at my normal 8-to-5 job.

Isn't it so hard to bite your tongue when some kid (or semi-adult)is complaining about 300 dollars in rent or not having enough money to pay his/her cellphone bill when all you want to do is quietly and politly tell them that you Homeowners insurance and gas/electric/water/etc bill is somewhere around there, and that your mortgage per month is more then they make in 3...

its all about ratios...$300 to us may be like $1,000 or more to you. its all based on one's income

Exactly. $300 to someone who makes $10K a year is 3% of their total income...in the big scheme of things thats quite a large purchase to make. It adds up quickly when you don't earn much.

holy crap, I had 300 taken out of my last check in taxes. Lame.

Quick suggestions, if your not already using someone from their firm I'd go to Eide Bailey and try to get a partner by the name of Mytinger (spelling?) to go through your books, he's the man i can't afford not to afford.

Second bold, i wasn't talking about returns, I also get no return, because i make less than 2K a year....sort of....

third: i'm just wondering if you're having to pay into workmans comp etc. and if that the majority of your tax problem then i recind (spelling again) my original post

Eide Bailey didn't do as good as the person I use now.

Glad you cleared that up

I don't pay workers comp cuz its just me that is working for me. I don't consider that a tax anyway, more of an insurance policy than anything else.

To respond to this i forget that i havn't introduced myself on this forum yet, but i'm 23 have a house ,2 kids and all that, my wife and i are both in college and we get by because we work full time and spend it differently.

I didn't meanto say that my bills one up yours, only that you shouldn't complain because you chose to spend your money somewhere else.

It is a personal friend, I will ask if she wants more independant business (outside of her normal CPA job) before I divulge her name.

FWIW, I just feel like arguing tonight....not trying to be a dick to anyone or about anything.
