We typically break even so this year is highly unusual. We had some unusual situations and considerable deductible losses. We actually ended up with a tax liability of zero.


I don't understand?

As my spouse works for the IRS, we couldn't get away with owing that much. If you owe more than $1K and are an IRS employee, you get flagged for an internal audit, you get a ding on your employee record and you have to change your withholding or pay quarterly estimated taxes for the next year. I have to religiously check our withholdings and spot check our taxes once or twice midyear to make sure we're on track.


Wow. Very interesting. Seems unfair though as if you have a lot of changes in a year you could be screwed.


Yeah that's crazy! I try sooo hard to get my witholdings correct, but it never is!

Overpaid fed by about $45,000. No big deal as it goes to our 4/15 estimated payment which is about that amount. Income varies quite a bit from year to year so we have to withhold at the safe harbor levels.
