No FICA on the last 2 checks because it hit the limit for the year. So in a screwy sort of way by getting a raise my tax rate is lower.

The average tax RAISE for each tax return is $4135.

Mine will less this yeah:) I have done my taxes using tenative numbers and I should see a substantial decrease in tax liability and also tax amount paid throughout the year due to the lower withholding to make it retroactive to the first of last year.

All in all I should see pretty decent decrease in taxes if my preliminary numbers are close to the real numbers. Too bad my employer is pretty slow on getting them out. I'll post real figures when i do them for real and file them.

Don't forget that $400 per child check you received this summer was an advance on the $1000 child tax credit.. you already got it.. well most of you did..

George didn't send us a check. Apparently it gets phased out at a certain point. :(

And it requires you have children, not behave like one ;)

I suspect I won't notice much of a difference cause I bumped my exemptions up a lot.

I've got two (or I did, one turned 18 in 2003). I don't think I could take another one, the $400 wouldn't be worth it. ;)

Dave, you actually have to have a job, make money and pay taxes to see a tax cut.

Try again.
