I'm hoping that someone out there can give me some advise on how to relieve my tax burden or at least direct me somewhere that I can find information. The situation is that my husband and I combined have a taxable income in the low 6-figures. We both have the max withheld from our checks, which takes a CONSIDERABLE chunk of our money bi-weekly, yet we still wind up owing taxes! We also contribute the max to our 401k's yet, in 2006, we wound up with a bill from the wonderful IRS that consumed a full 30% of our savings. How do hard-working people get ahead with this system? We have no children, we don't own a home, and don't really want to for the time being. Is there any other way to find relief? I really feel like I'm just giving money away!
