Well I finally received my W-2 today. So, being the eager beaver that I can be when it comes to taxes, I went straight to irs.gov and used the free file option.
The good:
I realized that I earned `$20 more in interest this year.
The bad:
My "raise" apparentally was enough to knock me out of qualifying for the "Saver's Credit".
I realized that my Roth IRA has $100 LESS than what I have contributed to it between 2006 - 2008.
The really bad:
I owe $144.00.
-----
I went ahead and e-filed. They had the option where you could set a date to have the amount you owe debited from your checking account. So, I set the date for the debit as April 15, 2008. I also set a Yahoo reminder that I need to make sure I have that money in that checking account before that date.
Taxes - Ugh!
