hmmm cool, i owed a bit last year, but the CA refund evened (that sp seems weird) things out. it was like 30-40 bucks i ended up paying.

this year, i'm around $170.00 on top both CA and federal.

 

If you are getting more than a couple hundred dollars back you are having too much withheld.

 

i read the title as "i'll never get more than 200 bucks for oral"

 

You guys help me out. I know that getting a refund isnt good because that should have been your money anyway. I use to not mind getting more than a few hundred back because I sucked at saving. But now that I am good at saving and started investing...I want all the money that is mine. I did my 2006 and I am getting roughly $700 back from Federal, and $130 from CA. Should I fill out a new W4? How can I change how much is withheld?

 

Just go to the personnel department and add a deduction.

 

i usually get back around $3-450 from federal :hs:

 

I filed my taxes yesterday, and as long as they don't make any last second adjustments like they did last year, I'm getting about $1,100 back from Federal...but only $160 from State.

 

:shrug: i get between 500-1000 back a year. but i have mileage deductions i take because of traveling for work. if it wasnt for those i wouldnt get anything back.

 

My refunds haven't been deposited into my account yet. :madr:

 

I can't even file yet because I'm still waiting on a W-2 from my 2nd job :wtc:
