I changed my with-holdings last year, so without Making Work Pay or the Retirement Contributions credit we would've owed federal of $13. Figure in those credits, and each of our state returns of less than $150 combined, and we walked away with over $2K. So I adjusted our with-holdings again. The Bush tax cuts hit their sunset clause at the end of the 2010 tax year, so I'll have to adjust again in December.
Our basement is half finished, so we're going to finish the rest of it and buy a new couch for the living room because DW doesn't like having a cloth couch that gets covered in dog hair and is difficult to clean. So that will go to the basement. Our subdivision has about 6 different floor-plans in all the houses. They all sell within $10,000 of each other, except the ones with finished basements. Those ones go for $20,000 more. So it makes sense to finish the basement.
