Time to do away with this antiquated tax code that penalizes women for working. If we lived on only DH's income, with LO and all deductions we would have gotten almost $7k back; instead we pay at about a 28% tax bracket and owe additional taxes! Lol/wth. We do what we are supposed to: pay a bunch in taxes, have a child, own a home...and still we owe. </p> <p>A "friend" on FB said it best: you need more kids and less jobs.</p> <p>Le sigh. I always buy a nice bottle of wine on tax day. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/refund-or-pay#post-718484 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 22:27:32 +0000 Caly 718484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Paid.

I get a refund since I work for a corporate company, but we always owe for my hubby's portion for our shop so even with my "refund" we still owe.

LO was NOT the tax credit I assumed she would be. I think we got something like a $100 deduction for having her.

First decent one we have had in years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/refund-or-pay#post-717011 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 12:43:09 +0000 Anagram 717011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyLayneAZ: US taxes penalize married couples where both spouses work, and even more so if both spouses make a similar wage. So, for example a couple where each spouse makes $50,000 will be taxes more than a couple where the husband makes $90,000 and the wife makes $10,000. It sucks!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/refund-or-pay#post-716985 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 12:37:55 +0000 MrsTiz 716985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a refund.

We tried a few different things and if we had filed married but filing separately, I would've owed Fed, but gotten like, 5 bucks from state. Everyone said getting married helps with taxes...I beg to differ. Our house helped, getting married didn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/refund-or-pay#post-716964 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 12:34:42 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 716964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm Canadian and ours aren't due for another 2 weeks.. but we are getting a refund! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/refund-or-pay#post-716957 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 12:32:56 +0000 LindsayInNY 716957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I paid *significantly*!
