I significantly upped my withholding this year, but not anywhere close to that amount, tommyrot. And then we didn't end up having as much side work, yay more donors, so we're ending up getting money back.
Man, my day got so fucked up.
But since that's the case, I'm going to have to make a new, bonus plan for my resulting day. I have already started it by eating a calzone. The SO is not going to have any left when he gets back and that is just going to have to be sad for him because they are so so delicious. And easy as grab it and throw it in the oven food for me.
So. New goals for the day: continue working on car. dishes. laundry. personal taxes. company taxes. studio work. shredding.
Last year we got a decent refund but I still don't quite believe it...
Was your second kid born in 2012? Or is she around 3 now??

She was born in 2011, but we couldn't get a refund for her that year since all her childcare was paid for in cash under the table (OH HAI NSA JUST KIDDING ABOUT THAT LAST PART).
OK, my boss is going to lend me the extra money that was taken out of my paychecks, and reduce my withholding to much lower that it was last year until my withholdings are back in sync with what they should have been.
So I can pay all my bills this month and go to Tuscaloosa next week. Yay!
I'm trading naming a character in a story for a shiny corporate hotel discount. Or my eternal soul. I forget which. But yay hotel and heat tonight.
Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you dancing around singing "I've got the POWER"? I would.
I'm fighting my way through a jQuery course with shiv and bludgeon. Next I'm going to go and de-snow my car.
I'd make very very very sure the money went to withholdings and not some caribbean vacation fund or up the accountant's nose….
this is hilarious.
tommy,
I typically do whatever withholdings I had the year previous and then I estimate my taxes and withholdings around June and do another withholding adjustment if I am going to come in too high and too low. They have Internet calculators that I can help you see if you are on track for the year in terms of withholdings.
However, in recent years, I have been too busy to be as on top of this as I was.
I am really hoping I kept my too-high withholding last year but have proper withholding now at my new job, because I want the chunk of money right now, but also don't want to do it going forward. Fingers crossed!
