Just finished mine. This year's Turbotax is quite streamlined. Only problem I had was it kept insisting I input a value from 1099-INT, whereas I don't have any 1099-INTs. It was finally happy when I put in zero.
Where y'all at?
I'll let you know in April. Not shelling out thousands of dollars until absolutely necessary.
Edit: BTW---Last year I filed at 10:00 PM on the 15th. Pacific Time. They go by Eastern Time, so I had to pay a late fine of like $130. Watch out for that shit. <_<

I already filed. $700 refund incoming. Having 3 bouncing baby tax deductions comes in handy. :cool:
Realized we'd been doing a boneheaded move. Opened a RRSP for Mrs. B a few years ago, since she has no pension plan. But the plan is solely in her name, and right now her income is very low. We should have opened it as a spousal RRSP, so I could claim the deduction, since I'm at a dramatically higher marginal rate than her. :grr:

Years ago when I articled at a large firm a senior partner came into our articled student office and asked who wanted to go to Switzerland on an errand. All hands immediately shot up. Fortunately I wasnt selected. The poor sod who was had the errand of personally serving an order requiring a bank to disclose certain documents. When he arrived at the bank to serve the papers he was arrested by the police and put on the next plane out with instructions to inform the firm that if they attempted any such nonsense again their would be jail time.
But I think those days of secrecy are a thing of the past.

did a quick check and there is indeed a separate form for Residents of Quebec that looks like it is fairly rigid in the calculation of withholding based on income.
Its not such a bad thing since in the rest of Canada the withholding still has to be based on a genuine pre-estimate of taxes to be paid but there may be less flexibility for you to decrease the amount of overpayment.

I did the calculations and figured out my tax liability early to adjust my tax withholdings accordingly. So unlike some layabouts I will have a trivial liability or refund.*

I don't think there is any punishment for lettign them withhold too much from you. I believe if you owe too much they can make you pay estimated taxes during the year to make sure it doesn't happen again.
This is all pretty much out of my ass though.

First, just just fill this form:
http://www.revenuquebec.ca/documents/fr/formulaires/tp/tp-1015.3%282014-01%29dx.pdf
with your basic deductions and compare it with what your employer has. If it's the same, then you'll need to check with your wife, who should claim the deduction for the kids. You've got a similar form for the ARC.
They won't let you pay less taxes, but you could pay more if you wished.
What likely happens is you take REER at the end of the year, and they lower substentially your taxable income, so, in effect, you paid too much taxes during the year.
But you could simply claim other tax credits that your wife already takes, for the sake of the weekly payments, that's not a fraud. It's only a fraud if you do it on your official tax report at the end of the year. So long as all your dues are paid by April 30th, you're off the hook. Of course, you don't want to get in a situation where you have to fork over 3000$ by April...

For Quebec and Canada, no fines if you pay by April 30th.
However, if the amount is really large (no specific figures, but i think it's proportional to your taxable income), you will be asked to make provisionnal accounts for next year, each months or each trimesters, depending on the sum being asked. Then, if you don't make those, you will be fined.

Yeah, I use that. I was just wondering, if in the us, it was possible to have 0$ being withheld by your employer(s).
IIRC, If you made so little the last year that you didn't have to pay any federal income tax, and you anticipate the same for the current year, you can declare yourself exempt from federal income tax withholding on your withholding form, and your employer won't hold out any federal income tax. However, the limitations for that require a really low income, so it would have to be someone working very few hours.
And I suppose if you have a really large family, you might be able to claim so many exemptions that you would end up not having anything withheld.

I made the mistake when I was unemployed in 2010 of not paying tax on my unemployment. The next tax season was not fun. :P

I really didn't get very much in the way of unemployment, but I didn't get much in 2012, either; apparently the myths about the U.S.'s alleged massive underground welfare economy is exactly that, and all the GOPtards and conservative assfucks that complain about it are really using it as an excuse to hate on the darkies.

I knew all that tuition and having kids would pay off! Refund incoming despite me minimizing my deductions last year.
I worked it out pretty good last year - I owe zero. Of course, I could maybe have had less deductions and put away money each month, but I don't trust myself to do that - I am kind of shifty.
Pluse, with no state income tax I didn't pay too much.

I find that most of my time filling out tax returns is spent on tracking down those 3-4 1099-INT forms, for a grand total of $11.85 in interest income, and not on the W-2 form, which takes 10 minutes to put in and accounts for 99.99% of my income.

I think that if it is less than $10 you generally don't get a 1099, but you should theoretically declare everything. In practice, it really doesn't matter.

That's my plan as well. :Embarrass:
If you earn less than $10 interest at a given institution they don't issue you a 1099-INT and they don't report it to the IRS. And unless you've kept a running tally of interest earned from your monthly statements, you really have no way of knowing how much interest you earned. So skip it.

Now that's some foldin' money!
I'd take it all in stripper singles.
When I first became an accountant, a family member approached me. "I think I need some advice on what I should do with my money," he started. "Well, what are you currently doing?" He explained that he had keeping all his money in his checking account. I asked how much he had in the account. He said about $900,000.
I thought this was shocking stupidity.
But now that I'm starting to do my taxes, and trying to figure out what has been going on for the past year, I've realized that I just checked my bank account for the first time this year and have allowed a shocking amount of money to just sit in checking (though considerably less than $900k).
I think I used to manage my money far more closesly (and better) when I had very little. Once I started to get a decent amount of cash, enough to really start generating investment returns, I sort of quit caring.
It does tend to build up.

Taxes suck.
I was in the same boat with the oversized checking account just earlier today. I live significantly below my means, so the balance in my direct deposit checking account grows over time, and it grew to some pretty significant figure. It's easy to reach a decision paralysis with such amounts, since every misstep or mistime can cost easily cost you four figures. At least with 401k, your regular contributions are out of sight and out of mind.
Of course, tax day is a good day to clean the house a little, so just today I purged my checking account. A little Roth IRA here, a little "high yield" savings account there, and it's back to "enough to not bounce your checks" level.

My Capital One 360 account (formerly ING Direct) yields 0.75%. Not sure how they manage it, given that there are no significant restrictions on withdrawal that I'm aware of.
I've put small amounts each month into a fund investing in the BRICS.
It has had a good yield. 28,3 % in 2013. I thank the pencilpushing cuntiballsfucktards for their effort.

Is that a good idea given that C has a housing bubble bursting, I is in the middle of elections, and R is pissing off The West (TM)?
Nope.
I expect a loss in 2014.
I'll also spread about a bit, investing in Africa. Eastern Africa. Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda are growing markets. Heck, I might invest in a Kenyan wife. The girls there really are beautiful. It will be my stint at colonialism.
I'd like my headstone to read "Well, he was stupid and drunk most of his life, and the rest was ruined by bad investments. Thank Fuck he's dead".

Before he found CDs, he used to invest in Betamax. So it's an improvement.
This looks like impressive new technology to me:

Apparently we messed up something quite badly this year. I'm getting five grand back. Shit.
I hear good things about this HDDVD stuff. I think I'll plop all my money into that. Like anything called Blu-Ray stands a chance. :rolleyes:
Blu-Ray is a failed country and western singer. Not a real format. And don't even get me started on those so-called streaming service. Like the Internet can ever replace having a physical HDDVD in your hands. Give me a break! The idea is laughable. :glare:
I let my checking build up until it hits $7K, then peel off five grand and throw it at an investment.

I finally closed my former ING savings account last week and transferred funds to checking account. Such low interest is no longer worth remembering another username + that code.
Yeah the ing direct => capital one 360 is pretty crappy now. :(

I don't begrudge you sucking on the teat of the Republic.
I would like some of those sweet food stamps however.

Considering I saw a drop of over $70,000 in total income while still managing to maintain a mortgage and pay outrageous COBRA premiums for a full year, I think I deserved it.
Yes you did. Spicy didn't think you did however. Spicy is a bad, bad man.
I took the tax dollars I stole from him and gave it to Planned Parenthood. Abortions on me, ladies!
Making it rain...wire hangers.
Meh...punch in the gut, a toss down the stairs and a Dyson with its patented Root Cyclone(tm) technology.

There is an american lobby that lobbies to give MORE money to foreigners?

Well I think it is an international group focusing on reducing poverty, disease in countries like Africa.
Presumably said link is not for people who are angry about money going overseas. :D

I have a weekly skim into my Vanguard account. Its building a nice reserve and helping me put the screws on day-to-day spending.
I just did my taxes. :)

Filed today. Anybody use that Amazon e-giftcard offer from TurboTax? I just gave them $1100 of my federal refund in return for a future $1210 e-giftcard. :huh:
Sound like a crap deal to me. Can you really spend that much at Amazon?
I bought and received yesterday an electric lawn mower ($215) from Amazon.
You should have bought six.
All my friends in Seattle have been using the Amazon Fresh service recently. It's being piloted there and in San Fran. Basically, they put in grocery orders before they go to bed and the stuff is on the doorstep when they wake up.
A grand is several months worth of groceries.
4.98$ tax return from the provincial government. I'm rich!!!
