I thought I did SOOO well, doing my own taxes. I filed online this year. Unfortunately, I read the summary of taxes withheld wrong while doing my State income taxes. And while I would LOOOOOOOOOVE to keep the money they direct deposited $511, I know it would catch up with me eventually. What I don't understand is why THEY didn't catch the mistake. Anyway, instead of putting $.59 withheld, I mistakently put the amount of social security taxes withheld ($511). :rolleyes: :eek:
So now I have to file and amended return and send back the money. Don't worry, when I realized what I had done, I called the State and told them. I also transferred the money into my savings so I wouldn't spend it. It was an honest mistake. I tried to rectify it by filing an amended 1040X online but it wouldn't take the $.59. Technically, I didn't even have to file a state return.
*sigh* :rolleyes:
