Sunday Summary – $3571 Paid

Another week gone in 2010. My, how they fly.

Lots of taxes this week. Our first cellular phone bill arrived in the mail, which included 3.48 of miscellaneous lifeline credits and other 911 surcharges. My wife got paid again, which bumped our total up about 1200. Recall that her paychecks are structured strangely, so this time her withholdings increased to $875 federal, $349 state, and $51 medicare. We also went out to eat with friends a few times, filled the car up with gas again, and bought just a few groceries, which are mostly untaxed.

As I was doing our taxes this week, I realized that this project ultimately will have to carry into 2011 in order to find out how much we over- or underpaid our federal and state income taxes in 2010. After we subtract any refunds and add any payments, then we will have an accurate count for 2010. I do not expect much of a change, however, since this year we got a refund (net state and federal) of about $300.
