I think my last two pieces of tax information have arrived, so I should
be able to fire up the old TurboTax and see how much Uncle Sam owes me!

I’ve
been told over and over again that its best to minimize your income tax
return — that is, if you keep letting the government hold on to your
money when you KNOW its too much then its just like giving Uncle Sam an
interest free loan. Its very generous but totally unnecessary.

I
can’t do that. I really like getting a bonus in the beginning of the
year. Besides I’m always nervous that I’m going to wind up owing the
government money and that would be REALLY disappointing. So I let them
hold the money for the emotional charge I get out of my income tax
return.

I can’t argue that its the most financially sound thing to do. Heck, *I* even win that argument with myself.
