This year, I will try and use a program, just to see if I can squeeze more out of dear old Uncle Sam. I suppose I should file this month, eh?

Shelacious, FYI if you did not already know, if you find some deductions this year that you did not know you were eligible for last year you can go back and do an ammended return and get that extra $$$!! I was listening to a talk show on the radio the other day (If any of you can get Clark Howard in your area I encourage you to listen to him. He is a 'comsumer advisor' and has great advice on spending less and saving more! If he wasn't a geeky white boy and if I wasn't so in love with my husband I would think about marrying him!! LOL) and there was a woman who had mistakenly included child support in her income for the last 3 or 4 years. She filed amended tax returns and got over $9,000 in over payments back!! Of course, the IRS will not be giving you interest in those situation like they will charge you if you had underpaid for 3 - 4 years!!
