So I owe money on my taxes again...2K. I'm not sure why because I thought I claimed just 1 on my W4 and people are saying I could have claimed 2 to break even since I have mortgage interest and property taxes to claim.
Three years ago I got about 6K back from uncle sam because I was claiming 0, and that was too much. 2 years ago I claimed 1, I had a new job without a 401k, got laid off, and got screwed by having a new job with a 401k and all the money I put into an IRA wasn't deductable. With unemployment, the settlement check, and other stuff I wasn't surprised that I owed 1K last year. But this year I can't see a reason why my paycheck deductions should have been this far off.
