We don't have enough taxes withheld each year. I have the max withheld from my terp job, and Hubby has the max withheld from his military retirement, but he doesn't have anything withheld from his job because he is self-employed. He makes minimum estimated payments. But the total of all those does not equal what we actually owe each year. So we have to make additional payments each month. We have been doing that for about 12 years.cental34 said:Why is it that you pay more taxes?
We could pay more taxes in advance but why should we? We don't pay them until they are due.
Many people do not realize that their "refund" is actually their money that they give the IRS as an interest free loan thru withholding. They could have kept that money in the bank instead and gained interest on it. Then they would have the "refund" money PLUS interest.
The whole IRS system is a rip-off.
