Also, pay less tax then there's no tax return for them to take. Aim for a $0 tax return. Why are you giving the government a free loan? Especially if you don't support its policies? As long as you don't end up owing tax you're good.
no,no, now i have a good paying job. six months ago i did not. i paid taxes while on that assignment (QA/QC of panel fabrication and wiring, see the gnomie thread beginning, he went to work with me while i worked there. it was a stepping stone back into engineering) so i did get a tax return. granted it was taken by the government for a government mistake when child ransom, errr support, was re-organized and mis-calculated.....by who? mhm. the gubbmint.

as far as aiming for a zero tax return, yeah, i see that approach. i like it actually, however having dealt with the IRS in the past, it's better to feed the mafia and get a return than to wind up owing it.

ETA - good comic monie, loved it!
