So Jim's advice about the mortgage interest barely helping you is accurate. It is really giving you hardly any tax break at all.

Even if you pay no mortgage interest this year your tax bill is not going to change much, so if you set up your W4 to withhold the same total for this year as you paid last year you should be fine.
Wow you guys are so good. Thank you so much for all your help...its exactly what I needed to see it all in black & white with the figures. thanks again you guys rock
