Woo Hoo! I just went back trying to find any little thing, and somehow I qualify for a deduction on some of my son's college tuition expenses. That's gonna knock almost $500 off my tax bill this year.

What galls me is that I also prepared my son's tax return for his part-time jobs last year and he's getting 27 cents MORE than he had withheld because of the rounding rule. He pays nothing, gets a refund, and I'm here sweating on April 15. I'm hoping I'll suddenly remember a $10,000 donation to a charitable organization that I somehow forgot. I don't think it's going to happen.

I was gonna say, keep trying! A couple of days ago it looked like we owed $2400, but somehow it came out to be about $500 when it was said and done.

The only thing that saved my butt is the sales tax deduction. Fortunately I bank electronically and use Quicken, so everything was documented.
