Yea for FreedomFile!!!
I had mine down in February, but I had to wait until my parents filed last week! Of course they claimed me so I lost $400 and my stimulus check!
And then I got roped into doing my little sister's (biological) taxes too!

You pay more other places though...
I filed back in March, after reporting one of my former employers for refusing to mail me my W2.
Also, I'm pissed about the stimulus payment, the government is operating at a deficit, and yet they're spending more money they don't have by mailing out checks?

Yep. The state we live in has an income tax, but its overall tax burden per taxpayer is one of the lowest in the country. People always get overly butt hurt about income tax. Now.. Texas property taxes -- those are scary.

My God. We agree on something in public policy besides puppy mills.

Alabama has a wonderful "use tax"—a way that they stick you at tax time for stuff you bought in the previous year that you didn't pay state sales tax on (primarily Web purchases).

According to my divorce decree, I get to claim daughter #2. She is now living with deadbeat dad. Has deadbeat dad's lawyer bothered to get this changed? No. So I'm claiming her - ha ha ha ha!

My husband and I typically hit things pretty even-Steven come tax time... either very small refund or very small amt owed. In 2005 he started getting income from various employers, and somehow we wound up owing $4300 last year! Ouch!
To make sure that didn't happen this year, he did the quarterly pre-pay taxes AND claimed the highest deductions on his main paycheck. We were hoping that this would help keep us from owing so much this year and get us back to even-Steven status. Well... I finished the taxes this weekend, and drumroll please.....
$7100 refund!!!! 
Holy Moly!! I am thinking some new bedroom furniture is in my future!

I did my taxes back in February. I took my refund and opened a high-interest savings account. Which turns out to be not-so-high-interest. But I'm too chicken to hand it over to a stock broker or anything like that.

You do pay an income tax in Tennessee on some investment income (i.e. stocks). Just an FYI, and another reason Texas is better than Tennessee.  AND TN taxes food, which TX does not. I was amazed at that.
