Taxes

Sometimes taxes can be pretty stupid. Case in point: My taxes for 2005.

I had to pay taxes for:
  • US Federal
  • The State of New York
  • The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
  • The City of Pittsburgh
  • The Commonwealth of Virginia.
I'm getting a Big-Ass (TM) refund from the Fed, and a decent sum from PA and VA. The City of Pittsburgh technically owes me $0.38, but since it's not even worth the postage, I won't have the pleasure of receiving a check for such a paltry sum. (w00t, I just used the word paltry).

Anyway, here's what's so dumb: I owe the State of New York $77! But I didn't work in the state, and only spent about 4 weeks there all year.

Now, I suppose I shouldn't be too upset, since I'm still ahead by a few thousand dollars. But it's the principle of the thing!

But just in case anyone was confused, I *still* <3 NY.

Grrrr. I'm so jealous you are getting refunds from PA and that the city technically owes you money! I calculated everything and apparently I owe the state money and I owe the city more than $100! What a rip off! What are you going to do with your refund?
