lol here in Oz we have state and federal tax, Road Tax, Fuel Tax, Airline Tax, in some places Water Tax, Income Tax, and the Big one GST which suxs. But with all those taxes i should get back between 4 and 5K but thats not till june and to top it all off our Dollar is worth Crap at the moment.

Dr.

 

I failed to make the requirements for the foreign earned income tax exemption this year, due to an extended medical trip state side. Between state, and federal taxes I owe 20K. What is worse is failing to qualify for the exemption in 08 will disqualify me from the exemption for the next 5 years. This will cost me 25K or more each year

 

Haven't begun my return, but I always owe a good amount.

 

same here, all and more probably going to home repair and renovation

 

Old thread, and useless now, but I was so excited, I had to share. I had originally expected to pay the federal government ~$550 this year (well, originally expected a large return, but my work sucks), and it was going to have to be late. I was waiting for my bill with amount plus late fee, but just now I checked the mail and found a letter saying they recalculated my 2008 taxes and corrected an error. Now I have a check for $7.71 I was really dreading the bill coming in. I either suck with taxes (likely, though math was always my best subject) or they took into account my last years return that I never got because of a 2007 error with my e-file. Good ****.
