Once you plug in your deductions you should not owe anything, especially if you are over the road. Once you put in your per diem you may even have a credit. Then there are other deductions, uch mortgage interest and certain other taxes. It is a good idea to keep an eye on your taxes. I would rather have to pay at the end of the year rather than have them give me a refund for over payment of taxes. If you get money back you have over paid. I can't see giving the government an interest free loan.
I am claiming 1 on my taxes and it says I will owe at the end of the year. HELP!!!

I prefer, as others, to break even or have to owe a few bucks at the end of the year. I have real problems with giving the gooberment a interest free loan all year long and then have to jump thru all their hoops to get my own money back.

But over the year, I have earned quit a lot in interest from money that I never would of seen if I just let the government hold it for me.
Here is a good article about how you could turn just $200 a month into a very nice nest egg...
I have a nice nest egg... Do you...
Too many people live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to get ahead... if only they knew how saving a few bucks each week adds up... then instead of living paycheck to paycheck, you have money in savings earning interest, you pay less interest on loans and credit cards..
Not saving is expensive...Last edited: Apr 29, 2017

There used to be a line on the W-4 where you could voluntarily pay more tax every week. You could put $25 a week in that field to guarantee a refund in April.
AtticusRoad Thanks this.
