So for the past several years I have gotten a refund from the IRS for a few hundred dollars, and owed the state of CA a few hundred dollars. I was cool with that because I could just wait for the IRS refund and then use it to pay CA. Since I changed jobs last summer and got a decent salary increase I was not sure what to expect this year. Just finished my taxes and it turns out that I owe just over $200 to the IRS and $23 to the CA Franchise Tax Board. I'm pleased. And surprised at how well tax withholding table actually seem to work.
And also happy that my new employer's 401k administrator sent a coupon for $25 off of turbo tax.
How's everyone else's taxes going this year?
