jetta,
I was holding off on doing my taxes as I had the feeling I was
going to pay in this year (due to the @#$%&!!!! capital gains
reported by the @#$%&!!! fund managers of my investments
), but I wanted to get
that off my plate and I completed the returns last night.
[b]@#$%&!!!! 
For the first time in over 15 years of paying taxes, I owe tax
money to both the state and federal governments, to the tune of a
total of nearly $1400.
Let me say it again: @#$%&!!!!
Excuse me while I go shoot something/someone...[/b]
Wah, you poor thing. I hope we're not talking about alot of
money. Have you shot it out of your system already? 
We finally saw our CPA yesterday. We're getting money back again
but not as much as I had thought. I guess I'm surprised because
people keep saying that as a homeowner, you'll get this and that
back, so I was expecting lots of $$$. Oh well. But guess what? The
new windows we put in got us $220 back. Orthodontic treatment and
optical stuff were all tax deductible too, boy am I happy.
