I owe money to the fed, and the state owes me a worthless $9. That's almost as worthless as the $5 I got for jury duty 2 years ago. Somehow I went from being dirt poor in the eyes of the state of NJ the past few years, to making not much more last year and actually owing them income tax.

Why loan the government that much money? Unless that is you don't make enough money to actually pay taxes and that's all refund money from the get go, anyway, are you including your "economic stimulus" money? $300 or $600 or something come May/June.

Anyway, I got my $16 back a week or two ago, it was awesome.

I almost forgot about that. Including that, I'll still owe the fed money. Here's to being in one of the lowest income brackets and not getting anything from that package. Gotta love being a "dependent".
(Not that I think the stimulus package is a good idea, but if they're giving people money like that, then I should at least get something, seeing how I pay taxes...Someone please correct me if I'm wrong and I'll be getting a check.)
