before Debbie passed, we always got about $600-$700 every year, just by claiming "joint married at a higher amount" on our tax papers provided by work. Hell, we were both would've been happy to not have to pay taxes even if it meant no refund...And we never paid taxes one single time to either state or federal, always a refund.

Only thing that annoyed me tax wise since her death was the IRS LOSING all my paperwork last year I mailed in for the "First Time Homeowner Credit"...Instead of having the refund by the usual time of the beginning of March - it was the first week in JUNE!

I received a letter from the IRS in November stating that if I moved from the residence (Within the next 3 years) I claimed on the credit I would have to payback the amount of the credit...Gee, if one pays off their 'mortgage' doesnt that sometimes mean they're planning on STAYING in the home?


On the positive/humourous side of taxes - I was trying to decided in December 2010 if I needed to split my "property tax" for the home into 2 payments (Which is an option in the county I live in - One payment before December 31,2010 and the other is due before March 31,2011) but decided "why split a tax bill of $12.84 into 2 payments?"
