yeah i guess the married thing helps but then again we got cash back last year so i guess i find it so odd to owe this year. its just annoying when everybody i know is getting so much money back and i am scraping to pay my real estate taxes. grr!! i feel for you with paying so much in taxes. that sucks. what is AMT if you dont mind me asking?
