I'm hoping we don't have to pay a ton this year. The last two years, we have had to pay Federal around 1500. We always pay to state and send quarterly payments to try to avoid owing more at tax time. Hubby's pension doesn't take state/county taxes out of his checks since the unions are based in Illinois.I did my taxes last night. In the past, I always got a little back from the Feds and paid a little to the state. This year I have to come up with almost 1200... having no deductions suck.
Since I know I have to pay, I will just wait for early April to file and pay.I'm waiting on one more tax statement from my credit union so I can do my taxes.
TurboTax is what I have used for a long time.I'm hoping we don't have to pay a ton this year. The last two years, we have had to pay Federal around 1500.

I see Groupon has some deals on Turbo tax so I think I will go that route to save a few bucks on filing at least. I think we got the last of our tax documents yesterday in the mail so I can work on that soon.
Yep, It has been a long time since I was able to itemize.I use Turbotax too. I go through and itemize but I really don't know why. With the new larger standard deduction recently I end up just taking that.
