    Default refund in, refund out

    Why is it that when a refund comes in something breaks and there goes the refund .

    Got my state refund today, was going to snag an old S&W wheelie I'm hunting for but noooo, now I get to put in a new garage door opener/belt drive blah blah. Oh well. At least the weather is going to be great starting Saturday so the motorcycle therapy sessions will commence!

    Well I screwed up my w4 by following the directions and ended up owing 1400 Fed and almost 1000 to state. Apparently the directions are bad to follow.

    Hahaha, I wasn't expecting to get one, not a large one by any means but it'll cover the garage work so that's what matters.

    I usually get a bonus at work around February. I pretty much just sign that over to cover what I owe in taxes.

I have since reduced my allowances to 3.

    W4 directions are crap.

    I run a mock 1040 in Excel as the year drags on and adjust as necessary. My goal is to owe an amount I'm comfortable paying the next year but never more than 10% of the tax to avoid the extra little penalty. This year I owe about 2.5% of my Fed and about 4% of my state. Put the checks in the mail this morning.

    We got a mild refund this year but we had to pay a ton in medical expenses to get that. Lol.
