BOO! I was so disappointed!!! We got a ton back last year without a dependent, and this year, with DD, we owe Fed (a LOT) and a little to State. I made a lot less because my maternity leave was unpaid, but I paid in a lot less. I am so totally bummed out about it :-( Misery loves company!
Re: Anyone else actually owe on their taxes this year?
Yeah - it is my own fault for not paying close enough attention to my paystubs. I made about 25% less income, but paid in about 33% of what I paid in last year. I took deferred bonuses as income while on maternity leave, so they were taxed at my regular rate, rather than at the bonus rate. I use a CPA, so I am afraid it is accurate, but I am still super sad about it
Since I started my job so late in the year, I didn't make enough money to pay fed taxes, so I get NOTHING back. I can't get anything for two new babies or the child tax credit. Gotta bargain with the ex to see if he will claim them and give me a chunk of the money.
I was so upset. I really needed that money!
