Ouch. We saw a huge increase in our taxes this year.... After years of getting a nice chunk back from the IRS, we were not expecting such a huge hit this year. I guess we're canceling our summer vacation this year.
Anyone else? |

| I cannot begin to describe the size of our tax bill without weeping. |

| We've had to pay a nice chunk the last 2 years but for some reason, our state went up this year. We usually get a pretty decent refund from the state, and we still received one this year, but it was less than half what it was last year. |

| Why is this? |

| Our accountant says its because out investment portfolio did so well this year -- and they didn't anticipate such a jump so very little planning went into protecting our earnings from such steep taxes. We do the basics - try to max out our pre tax accounts and fund everything - not sure what else we can do to avoid this happening again. Ugh. |

| Tax rates went up this year. Deal with it, Democrats! This is called wealth redistribution. |

Yeah. It is not just Democrats, but nice simplification. http://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyphillipserb/2012/11/10/tax-increases-looming-in-2013-who-pays-how-much-and-will-they-stick/ |

I'd like to know your income before I express the sympathy you clearly covet. |

| Yes, but a good portion of the increase is attributable to refinancing our mortgage, so I'm not complaining. |
