We took our w2's to .Aaron's mom's last
night. Aaron and his mom sat down and, I
guess, rushed through them a bit. I was
watching .Alyvia in the living room and
.Aaron comes storming in all pissed off
and says "we owe over 2k to federal."
i was like  because, what! We
only owed like $200 last year, and we made
*more* last year and didn't have a child!
So .Aaron was freaking out, his mom was
trying to calm him down, and I passed the
baby to him and redid the taxes. I spent
like an hour on them too! And he looked
up the wrong number on our tax table! And
didn't check to see if we qualified for a
couple of tax credits (we did). So not
only do we not owe, we're getting back
over $2000 because of our beautiful little
.Alyvia. I told him he's buying me
something pretty. 
we're going to take those pictures today
at his mom's house! She's going away to a
retreat and her house is lovely, so we
figured we'd do that instead of trying to
add backgrounds and whatnot. I'm so
excited!
*does a happy little dance of relief*

I'm hoping ours turns out ok...We won't
have a little one to claim till next year.
We've been pretty lucky and have always
gotten a little bit back every
year...Hopefully history repeats itself!!!

I love tax time! We're getting a lot back
too. I didn't request something pretty, I
requested the nintendo wii and I can't
wait to get it! Then we're getting finn
his next car seat and the rest is going to
boring stuff like bills.
You'd better share your pics when you get
back! Are these the sexy corset pics?
Ooh la la!

T: my husband took our taxes to h&r
block last year to make sure we owed (it
was our first year owing), and apparently
we qualified for a little something
because I was pregnant. I'm not sure what
it was, but you might want to ask around.
It helped us out a bit.
Sarah: make sure .Baron checks your
eligibility for the "child tax credit" and
"eic" (earned income credit). Aaron was
positive we wouldn't qualify for the
second so he didn't even bother doing the
worksheet to check. And he used an
incorrect figure for the child tax credit
and decided we didn't qualify for that
either, but we qualified for both.
Instead of getting back about $500 (which
was the correct amount when we used the
right tax table, before the
credits) we're getting back over $2000.
Make sure, girl!

lol will do! I'm really excited. The
corset is sooo beautiful. We're going to
pick up a bottom to go with it today,
assuming we find a nice one. Aaron's
really excited about it, because I agreed
to wear a pair of boots he bought for me
that I incredibly' hate!
they have this really huge spiked heel on
them that I think is just disgusting, but
they'll go really well with the shots we
want to take. I told him "you better make
sure I look hot"

Hey, speaking of taxes... I'm confused!
I only worked maybe 4 months in 2006, so I
didn't make very much at all... Shane has
worked all year.
A friend of mine told me that I should
claim .Kaylee on my taxes because I didn't
make a lot & I could file as a single
mother, she said I would get more back
that way. But .Shane's parents both told
us that .Shane made more so he
should claim .Kaylee...
This is so confusing, .I've obviously
never had to worry about claiming another
person on my taxes so .I'm completely
clueless... Can someone help me 
?
.Michelle

Okay, hon. What I would do is:
sit down with .Shane. Each of you do your
taxes as if you were claiming her. And
see who ends up with more money at the
end.

Ok, I didn't even think about that!
Does it even make any sense that if I
didn't work hardly at all that I would be
getting more back if I claimed .Kaylee? I
was awful at this stuff in school lol,
it's just too confusing for me.

I would do a before and after. Do your
taxes before and after claiming her, and
do his the same way. It might take a
while, but the money is soooo worth it.
It's possible he's in a higher tax bracket
than you, so federal might require him to
pay more taxes than you. That's
ultimately why we owed last year: we made
just enough to bump us into a higher tax
bracket.

Ok, .I'm going to tell him that. I think
we'll definetly do it that way because we
need all of the money we can possibly
get!
Thanks

really??? I've never heard of anything
like this, but I will definitely be asking
around. Anything extra would be very
helpful right now. We are renovating our
house a little bit, so that we have room
for baby!!!
