My mom just served notice for divorce.

My dad is something of a push over and my Mom is taking advantage of this.  She wants like 1700 a month in alimony.   He needs a lawyer.  I think she is going for a "no fault" divorce, but I get the feeling that periodically running off and stealing money counts as some kind of fault. I'm thinking of getting her one of those Anne Romney mugs for mother's day.

Sorry to hear that, but it seems like it's been a long time coming.

Does your mother have a lawyer?

I had to pay.

I remember paying income taxes once.  It was awesome.

I hope I get to again!  I can say "I helped refurbish this B-52."  Well, actually, if things keep going the way they do, "I helped disarm this W87."

Harumph.

Or do you guys mean actually cutting the IRS a check for taxes owed?  Never had to do that, although I suppose it's well-possible that I might this year.

I got about a large back this year.

It comes in 4 different, 2 per person, one for each stage of Government. 3 of those were returns, 1: I had to pay 96$.

YES.

I finished my tax return.

You should have had more withheld.  It's like stealing the government's right to have the present value of your income.

[Ideologue]

Yeah, I'm just fucking with you.

I got back my smallest refund in a long time this year, less than $300.  I suppose that is good, no reason to let the gubermint hold my money tax free, but I kinda feel like I got ripped off.

[DGuller]

I paid $1000 in federal taxes.  Gambling winnings are a bitch.

Whose getting $2k back, this guy!

Yes... I actually was surprised I didn't have to do that this year.
