Taxes: Done

I just computed my taxes and filed them. Woot! It always feels good to get them done and out of the way (and get a little cash back). Here's the breakdown:

Federal: Owe $34
State: Refund $449
Total Refund: $415
Minus TurboTax and Filing Fees: $64.90

Net Refund: $350.10

Not too bad. A few years ago, I realized that I was getting about $3,000 back every year. Since that's just an interest fee loan to the government, I upped my exemptions so that they would take less money out of my paychecks. So, now I owe a tiny bit to the Federal government and get a little chunk back from the State government. I think that this is a good level because if I upped my exmptions again, I'd owe even more on the Federal side and may even owe on the State side.
