We pay many taxes and insurances like tax property for house, gasoline tax for travel to work, companied our boys to doctors, health insurance, household insurance, etc. etc. The tax officer work out on our annual spending (something for family, not luxury spending) like daily travel to work, accompany children to doctors, school material, trips, house and garden etc. to aviod to pay extra taxes... then we are able to get it back due our annual spendings. At your situation, I donīt understand because you both bought a house at few months ago and need a lot of renovation work with materials cost, and pay tax property, have family, travel to work, etc. It would be understandable if you earn $150,000or more salary per annual.

I think it is cuz we bought our house in August and didnt have a full year of mortgage interest. As for the salary being over $150,000 ..nope we are not there but pretty close and without a house with that kind of salary..it bites. Hopefully, for 2008 taxes, it will be better cuz we will have a whole year with the house. Wait and see.
