I understand and agree with you. My situation for this tax year was beyond my control. I received a settlement for a case I was involved in. The settlement was handled as back wages and I literally got raped on the taxes the took from that ‘paycheck’. This was all right at the end of December as well, so the govt. didn’t get to keep my money for too long.
Normally, I end up getting $150 or less back from the Fed and owe the state around $50.
