I paid way more than that and have a kid. I don't get the tax system one bit.
Oh that's right I shouldn't have gotten married (sarcasm). Then I would have gotten back 4 times I paid in. 
Its a sore subject to me.

Its a sore subject to me. The marriage penalty, ahhhh yes. In the early years of our marriage, we were paying so much in tax that I suggested we get a divorce, and live together. That did NOT go over well.

If you had to pay $9 when filing your return it sounds like your withholding was almost perfect. Was your overall tax due for 2014 higher than 2013?
My goal when calculating withholding is to pay a little bit in April. Getting a tax refund means I gave the state an interest free loan, I'd rather hang onto my money as long as possible. |

I let my accountant deal with all that stuff. My point is that my taxes went up, as did many others. There have been a couple of editorials of late from people like myself, usually retired or semi-retired, who experienced tax increases, regardless what Senators Berger and Rucho said in a recent article in the Charlotte Observer. Our income and deductions have remained flat for several years. Typically we have to pay the feds and get back from state. Last years refund from state was approx. $700. this year we paid $9. I see that as a tax increase. |

I've got 4 kids and had to pay the state $600, and I dont make that much per year. I'd be happy with your $9 loss.
