that's a shit load of fed taxes!! are you getting a refund this year or do you not have a mortgage interest deduction? what is the statute of limitations on IRS coming back for under payment? |
Roughly $17k in mortgage interest, $6k of charitable donations, max two 401ks, daycare spending account, property tax of roughly $6k, capital loss carry forward up to the limit. I think our AGI was just shy of $150. Our effective tax rate was roughly 12.3%, which I think it fairly standard for the under $200k set. Next year it will be more as we will just break over $200k and will likely get hit with the AMT this time. |

157,969 Gross
23,200 Fed 7,663 State The saddest part is I seriously was scrounging up quarters to put together dinner tonight. So ridiculous. |
| Sickening that those under 200k have teen or single digit effective |
23,200/157,969 = 14.69% cry me a river. |
Yeah, my effective tax rate was over 31%. |
Ha! I wasn't complaining about my tax rate. I'm in shock that I couldn't put together $5 this morning. It's pretty ridiculous. |

I have to file extensions but this is my best guess:
AGI $300 Fed: $70 MD: $22 I am an owner at work so I think that drives our effective up a little (because of self-employment tax). |
Come on. I am at 24.5% (just bought the house, not much to deduct, even child credit). |
|
AGI: 313K
Fed tax: 65K |
Me,too! What's up with IRS?! Digging up 2yr old unpaid tax?! And they even charged interest on it. Do your job and send the letter out at least before any interest kicks in we paid on time!!

Would you all agree to pay 30% of all purchase, rather than this yearly complicated tax thing?
I don't know if I should include house-purchase or not, say 1M house with $300K property tax? We are paying $14000 property tax per year, so in 20 years, close to that amount, then start over again. |
I would rather everyone pay a simple flat tax with no deductions and treat all income equally (salary, dividends, capital gains, etc.) |
