LOL ! Howdy ! Yeah, he can get another muffler, lol !
My Dad, the good Democrat...I told him that he wouldn't get back as much as last year (even though his income, all from his AF retirement and SS was pretty much the same as last year), and he commented something about 'what about the tax cut?' (An obvious jab at President Bush). He actually said he expected to get less back this year, but I walked him through the difference in his tax situation since Mom passed away and thus his deductions/exemptions were lower and raised his tax liability.
Before we started, I told him that my experience was that the "Marriage penalty" was a myth because when you look at the tax liability of income levels and tax liabilities at those levels, 'single' filings are always higher...
Anyway, tis done now, signed and all. Now all he has to do is attach his withholding form to the 1040, fill out his return address and put postage on the envelope and he's rockin' and rollin'...
