Re: WTF, Open Letter, Rants, AW, Random thoughts.....

  • I'm annoyed...One of the fathers said his son didn't want to do his valentine cards. I sent the class list home last week to encourage the children to sign their own names to the cards. His parents are fine with it b/c its a "made up.holiday". I understand that, but at this age we reinfornce how we can care for/about people, doing a good deed, etc. WTF...maybe he should stay home the day of our party??

     

  • You all know what's coming.... WTF Home Depot - you said you'd be here first thing this morning. It's now 11:15 and you are still no where to be found.

  • WTF weather. I like having power in my house...and this sucks. Now I"m at work and that sucks too. 
  • Wtf self. I bought a vase filler type thing with those wicker balls and some other random things for a decorative tray. I didn't realize they are more like potpourri, and the smell is driving me crazy.

  • WTF Self- You are going BSC over this inspection next week and there is nothing you can do to change it or make anything better so just simmer the fuck down!! These kids are in love with this house the way you were when you bought it 10 years ago. Nothing would have stopped you from buying that house. Nothing will stop them either.

     

  • I'm adding another one. WTF taxes. I just filed ours and I'm always so paranoid that I'm messing something up and I'm going to end up owing some crazy amount.

  • WTF H's work - just because he's crazy and will drive in anything doesn't mean you need to send him to the areas with the worse weather every storm. I'm pregnant and more worried now about him than ever. Can't he just have a safe run once in a while?! Mind you last week we go 0 snow and they sent him to VA beach... who basically shut down with 6 inches. Today he's in Western Md where they called a state of emergency with over a half an inch of ice. :-SS

    I get nervous too.  It's really funny because Jeff and I pay to get them done, and I do my parent's.  I'm still nervous for them!

  • Dear dentist office,

    You are a PITA. First you have called me 2x to remind me of my appt. Why do you need me to call back?? Then I have to fill out all my forms online before my appt. b/c someone at the office can't be bothered to enter it into the computer. Then your forms suck too. if you answer no to a yes or no question, it still requires me to fill in an explanation. How stupid!!! And I got.all the way to the send for it not.to let me enter.the last answer. So annoying
    Sincerely ,
    A busy woman who doesn't have time for this shit!!

    We usually pay to get it done. Last year I tried, but Greg had some weird form from his 401k that I couldn't figure out. This year was fairly simple and our accountant pissed me off last year so I did it myself. I'm pretty sure I did everything right lol. At least turbotax said I did.

    My first year doing my parents was hard because they had all these pension/retirement crap then all their 401K rollovers, cash outs... Now it's easier and I know what goes where. 

    My mom's friend always did theirs, but she was such a procrastinator and it was always getting sent out April 15th.  My mom and me can't handle that haha.

    Same here...especially because I viewed mine and it was dumb.

    All of this tax talk is giving me anxiety....J did a tax simulator the other day and looks like we're going to owe a couple thousand. Less than last year, but still a signifiaicnt amount....so much for the great return I'll get because of the child credit I keep hearing about!

  • @uderin2 - owing taxes means your not paying enough throughout the year, especially if it's in the thousands. Did you both change your withholdings to married? If both spouses are working full time then one needs to stay single withholdings so your paying enough in. That means one won't be bringing home as much each pay but you won't owe in the end. When you change it, check the difference in how much your paying, time by how many paychecks left in the year. That should be a good indicator how much more you are paying vs how much you usually owe.

    We have Jeff as single withholdings and I have married. We ended up owing $500 federal but we're getting back more than that with state.

    The child credit is applied but if you owe more than the credit, it gets applied to your debt. So if everything stays the same for us, and we have the baby, us owing $500 will turn into a $500 return.

    Hope that helps!

  • Thanks @mana8503 ! We did both change to married, but J has extra withheld. I guess with his "starter marriage" they both claimed married and were fine? He swears my employer isn't taking enough out. This year also hurt because my 8 weeks of STD didn't have federal taxes withheld. I think I will change mine back to single...less coming in, but I'm about over owing thousands!

    lol @ starter marriage.  Biomom never worked, so they always gota big refund with being married and 2 kids.  Also, Army has some other benefits (income not taxed when in a war zone, housing allowance isn't taxed) so Jeff's taxable income was WAY less than what he brought home.  Like by half

    They may not be taking enough out if your incomes are really different.  They withhold based on the tax bracket for your income (they have no idea what your spouse makes), but when you combine you might be bumped into a higher one - meaning you owe more.  It happened to my CW so that's why we left Jeff as single to see where we end up. 

    That sucks about the ML.  I hope it works out and next year is better!

    Me too....I feel so bad for that sweet little girl.  And Leah can by annoying, but my heart breaks for her and her Allie!  

    @mana8503 J always refers to his marriage as his starter marriage, I laugh every time!  And ya, he makes more than double what I do so that's probably why the taxes seem so different.  Thank you again for the tips...I'll be changing something here very soon for 2014!
