    Re: Did you do your TAXES?

    I owed nearly $9000 on a $34k year income. My H&R rep told me I am paying 30% of my income to uncle sam! Time to get a home office and recording truck mileage so I can get some deductions. Sheesh.

    With standard deductions, (without itemizing), you would have to pay income on $26k, which would be a couple of thousand at the most.

    I don't think your HR block person is right, IMHO. I would redo them, and file an admendment to your taxes. I would also check your previous tax returns to make sure that they were right.

    Hey Loren,

    Thanks for responding.

    I forgot to mention, I am self-employed so on top of my federal income tax I have an additional 15% tacked onto it - with no mortgage to deduct - TA-DA!! I'm paying 30% tax! Woo-hoo!

    Thanks for the concern though buddy

    Still check for the minimum threshold for the self-employment, but that sucks. My exwife was self-employed and that tax bites if it applys to all income levels.

    Look at writing off your truck's depreciation since they allow pretty large deductions for it.

    Re: Did you do your TAXES?

    My jaw hit the floor when she told me what I owed. I didn't believe her, so I went and bought tax software to redo it myself. Yup, same numbers So I'm stuck. I'll look into depreciating my truck. I remember we discussed that during our session but by that point my head was spinning so I don't remember how we had decided to depreciate it.

    Thanks,

    Re: Notation on my IRS form.....

    Hello. Yes, I regularly pay my taxes, because it is my duty as a US citizen. Also, I perfectly understand what my taxes are used for and I see how life around me is improving, which means that I give my earned money not in vain. But recently I had a bit of trouble with my taxes and needed to go to the IRS office which I couldn't find for a very long time until I came across this site where I was able to find an irs office near me.
    This helped me a lot, because if I had delayed paying my taxes a little more, I could have been in big trouble with the law.

    Well I do, I just don't have another choice. By the way, the tax preparation became easier as soon as I discovered for myself jackson hewitt and jackson hewitt customer service . I refused from my usual accountant exactly due to these guys.
