You can see who’s taxes are entirely too simple by who has their exact amount already. I’m still waiting on: Some 1099-int statements Some 1099-div statements Some 1099-misc statements :tdown: to having complicated big kid taxes. ---

Im not sure if im going to do my taxes or not. We dont have to while over here but i dont see the sense of letting the gov just hold on to the little bit i should get back. I only paid taxes for 3 months this year. Ugh im going to do them and not be lazy. ---

> [@ldiablo233](#): > > how do u go about oweing taxes? Claim too many exemptions on your W4s and you will have less taken out of your paychecks with the risk of owing money at tax return time. I take two exemptions on federal. I’ll owe a little bit to federal this year, but I overestimated state enough to still come out ahead. I actually have them take out an extra $10 a week for state taxes because I got sick of owing on them. Actually, I still haven’t got any of my needed W2s or 1099s yet, I’ve just done a quick-and-dirty calculation to see approximately where Ill stand. Breaking even is the goal, you want maximum amount of money in your pocket every week without having to pay at the end of the year. ---
