Your Taxes Might be Higher Than You Planned

Feel rich??? Several months ago, I noticed a little increase in my payroll check. Not a lot, mind you. But I’m on a "budget" where I notice a few dollars here and there.

 But all is not a fairy tale ending for a lot of people. I’m lucky. I’m not married, I don’t work more than one job, and I don’t receive Social Security benefits. Those who fall into one of those three categories – my sympathies.

From the Spokesman:

 "Taxpayers are at risk if they have more than one job, are married and both spouses work, or receive Social Security benefits while also earning taxable wages, according to a report Monday by the Treasury Department’s inspector general for tax administration."
