Tax time

Standard deduction has been treating us pretty well for a few years now. Kids make it good for taxes. Have kids in bunches and you should be okay!

It all depends on your income, once you hit a certain level there is no child tax credit or dependent care deduction. Many of my clients have almost no deductions and tremendous taxes. Some people pay seven figures in taxes (not me) to have the same rights and privlages as another guy that makes $6,000 per year, pays no income tax and receives a check from the governement for the earned income credit. It is far from a fair system.

Only allow people that have paid at least $1 in taxes (or file jointly with someone who does) to vote and the problem would quickly be fixed.

Agreed but it will never happen. I will be surprised if we ever have another conservative President.

Yep, we may have another Republican but I doubt we ever have a true conservative. Our current POTUS is basically the 'messiah' to many people, and I can not understant it

I am not bashing anyone here, because some people truly need assistance, but I just can not understand how someone that receives nothing but gov't assistance to live on gets a REFUND

Thanks for the help, I looked at my past W2s (all this is via TaxAct) and realize what the difference was and it was a simple error on my part that wasn't picked up. I am in a much better mood now, even though I know its not for long
