Opinionated, outspoken, and once in a while funny!

Quit trying to help me with my tax burden!

You won't see much political stuff here, because for the most part I ignore it as much as I can. This does, once in while, cause me harm. Case in point:

I don't worry a whole lot about the details on my weekly paycheck. I know how much I need out of each one to pay the bills, and the rest is "fun money". My hours also vary from week to week, and consequently, so does the specific amount of the check.

So, although I noticed that my check seemed to be a it larger since about April, I didn't think about it too much.

My bad.

I just found out a couple weeks ago that that was the "tax relief" plan of reducing Federal Withholding across the board. Not the tax rate, just the withholding. So they're taking out less for taxes, thus putting more money in my pocket. But I'm going to owe just as much as normal come tax time. I just won't have as much already withheld to pay it with.

On top of that, my wife passed last year, so next year I'll be filing Single, not Married. Meaning my taxes will be even higher.


This is NOT the kind of "Tax Relief" I need!!!
