The wife started a new job Feb 2011. She checked exempt on her W-4. 6k tax bill. This is immediately after I spent the last year getting our credit card debt down to zero.

So I ask you fellow farkers. What should her punishment be?

My taxes are relatively simple, I e-filed them long ago and already got my little bit of a refund back.

My uncle is an owner/operator truck driver, he wound up owing 12K or so. That would suck.

I owe $18.

She should be traded in for a smarter wife

The election, all elections, should be the day after Tax Day.

We owed this year... Self-employment tax and my wife not taking any taxes out of her unemployment hurt us. Paid in full and on time, though.


On the plus side, we're not worried about health insurance for the time being... Thanks Commonwealth Care!

You should praise her for not giving the government a loan, and put 6k in high-grade corporate debt for next year, dope.

She's already married to an idiot that can't or won't double check his taxes, then blames his wife for his own oversight. And who is 6K in debt. I'm sure the "married to" will work itself out.

Oh, punishment. Stand outside with a sign saying "I married a dumbass" all day.

Your blaming me? It was her W-4. Do you double check your girls taxes? WTF?

The thing is she is the younger hotter wife I traded the last one for.

You're married....if it was your girlfriend or mistress you may have a point, but if her finances are in ANY WAY tied to mine, then you're damn right I'll make sure hers are correct too.

This is Fark. The answer is always "stick it in her pooper"

He said "punishment" not "reward."

This. I paid 4K but came out close to even, including the penalty, once you factor in the interest that money earned plus the satisfaction of holding on to the cash. Would underpay again.

Owe $154.00....25% tax bracket.....make much less than the President and Obama still pays less in taxes (20.5%).

If you share finances, you share responsbility. So you're telling me you 1) aren't married, but 2) you are white-knighting her enough to pay her 6K on your card. That tells me 3) you'll accept liability blindly without fact-checking.

Either you did not know ahead of time about the W-4, in which case you have no leg to stand on, or you are paying off her tax bills after she messed up, but want some kind of credit from the internet for doing it. Sorry. You blindly accepted the liability, now enjoy repaying down your card.

In a few years you can look back and see it as a cheap lesson, or you can see it as the first warning sign.

Have your fun being a dick to people on the internet. I know the tax code says my wifes tax burden is mine too so I get to eat this shiat sammich.

Your not married are you? If you were you would understand its not good to treat your wife like a child.

I may not be married, but I know how to tell my girlfriend she's farking up her taxes without treating her like a child. Maybe you should work on your communication skills.

There are several days every year where I thank an entire roster of assorted deities that I no longer make my meager living by being a TV reporter anymore.

Today is one of those days.

Until you've done virtually the same live shot at 5PM, 5:30PM, 6PM, 7PM, 10PM, 11PM and 11:29PM talking about the "crazy crowds and lines" and doing street-beef interviews with toothless yokels who spew weapons-grade retard into the microphone about "I'm done makin' sure them there gub'mint yahoos don' get my hard-earned money until the last possible second" and answer my follow-up question with "Well, ah'm gettin' 'bout two grand back as a refund. Gonna take the kids what for to Dollywood." you truly cannot appreciate how nice it is to have gone into the business of 9-5 air-conditioned pure evil.

Are you suggesting he should have been holding her hand at her new job while she filled out her paperwork, and then looked through it before she handed it to her manager or HR or whatever? Or demanded to see her check stubs to make sure taxes were being taken out?

Where is this perfect woman that you know that would take kindly to that?

CSB

Generation_D: $166 at HR Block instead of $6000 is cheap insurance

Umm, you still pay the taxes whether it's early or late. HRB, with due respect, will not save you $6000.

Taxes! Taxes! Beautiful, lovely taxes! Ah-hah! Ah-hah!


(Had the LP from the movie growing up and always hear the word "taxes" in Peter Ustinov's voice)

GAT_00: Did them two weeks ago after putting them off endlessly, even though it only took an hour.

You sound simple. Took me about 8 hours with Turbo Tax. But we have lots of taxable situations.

Generation_D: Am married, 12 yrs. Its your liability, what you do with it is up to you. Most people that can't follow instructions hire professionals to do it for them. $166 at HR Block instead of $6000 is cheap insurance.

You're welcome.

Yeesh. Some people are really biatchy around tax time.

I e-filed the first week of February, got my refund two weeks later (three days later for my state refund)

Suck it, procrastinators.

I had my returns back to me before the end of February.

I got my 1200 back in February. :-P

Two years ago I somehow owed $20,000 in taxes. Last year and this year I owed nothing. I have no idea what was different, but I assume everything's squared away ok, cause that's what the nice Jewish fellow I pay to do my taxes tells me. Also, for anyone considering having kids for the tax break, don't. My little baby only saved me $1,000 this year, and we've spent well more than that on baby gear so far. What, do they expect us to procreate for the sheer joy of bringing new life into the world or something? that's a poor incentive.
