Okay, I just filed mine online with Turbotax. Took me an hour.

More painful than the surgery! Yikes--I owe thousands of dollars. Probably should have filed estimated returns this year. ick.

But at least it's done. I got in trouble with the IRS once--NEVER AGAIN!

I use turbotax also and have calculated mine about 20x - I still cannot believe I owe what it says. I am now destitute. All my savings will be erased. Most depressed.

We had four jobs (between the two of us), two houses, two states... and college tuition in a third state. Investment income (about $6 -- whee!) The obsessive-compulsive husband did it about two months ago; we e-filed and got our fat checks back from both states and the feds.

S'alright.

Phew. Done. Well, sort of.

It didn't take as long to find my W2s as I feared. My printer isn't working, so I didn't get to make copies, and Adobe wouldn't work long enough to print anyway.

I went to efile from the IRS website and the federal file was free but they wanted to charge for the state. No way. They are supposed to email me a file, which I will forward to work, print, and mail tomorrow. Along with City and SD.

To sign it, I needed either last year's PIN (yeah, right) or 2007 AGI. My 2007 taxes were, I knew, in a box I had packed from my old job. Found it almost right away, started flipping the folders: hmmm...2006, 2005...2007! Painless, for waiting for the last minute.

The best thing, I think I must have adjusted my withholding once again, and I actually owed very little to feds. I got the normal amount of state back, which is more than I owed to feds. Direct deduct to feds, direct deposit from state. It's almost perfectly balanced to zero between both: but I may be having more wh taken out of my current job so I'll see where I end up next year.

Woohoo!

Did it back in early March. We're a typical kids+house=refund family, plus since one of those kids was brand new we were owed an extra $300 from the stimulus bill last year. (The checks were officially "for" 2008, but they guessed your amount based on your 2007 return, when we didn't have the extra kid.)

I am just glad it is over.
