Think of this after you hear Obama's plan to raise taxes tonight.
Are you concerned that next year your State might withhold tax refunds (Like California and Kansas)? Or perhaps you're a responsible taxpayer who has lived within their means and would like to be heard? There are several things off the top of my head that I can think of above and beyond phoning, faxing and/or calling my congressperson:
- Put cash in mason jars. Another option would be to get it in the form of U.S. Demand Notes. The banks do not deserve to hold my cash.
- Send money abroad.
- W4 - Jack up withholding to a net-even year end balance. Taxpayers are responsible for any underpayment at the end of the year* (See option #5 for a possible solution to this)
- If self-employed see option #5.
- Use TurboTax, Geithner Edition**
- If you still owe 71 grand for the refinanced (HELOC) 2006 Eddie Bauer Ford Explorer because you were upside down in the previous 2 cars and just couldn't resist the 10yr finance plan on this sweet ride...Not sure what to say. Seek help?

* Please consult with Tim's tax attorney. Oh wait, he makes eleventy-thousand dollars but uses Turbo Tax. Therefore consult tax laws before doing so.
** TurboTax Geithner Edition has all of the features as the Standard Edition except Audit and Error checking. Please see [*].
