So since I'll probably get all of my taxes back this year thanks to the homebuyer's credit, can I ask for no taxes to be withheld this year? -- nm - nubby Feb 8, 11:53 10
- I claim 5 because of my house. Still get a return -- nm - Redmond Feb 8, 11:59 1
  - But my tax liability for '09 will probably be well below the $15,000 credit, so no chance of paying a dime in taxes. - nubby Feb 8, 12:11
- the form that lets you change your witholding number also has an option for no taxes witheld -- nm - Stewie Feb 8, 11:58 1
  - Oh, you can only do it if you had no liability the previous year either - Stewie Feb 8, 12:01
- does your employer have a form you can fill out to change your tax credits? Check with HR and do a recal of your withholding taxes -- nm - Beaker Feb 8, 11:56 5

MIchael Steele: government jobs are "making work" not "real" jobs -- (link) - pigby Feb 8, 11:31 4
- Why don't we ask the unemployed if they want a 2 year contract job or not - Stewie Feb 8, 11:55 2
  - Exactly. They become more emplyable. Plus they've spend 12-24 months being consumers and paying taxes. -- nm - mara Feb 8, 12:05 1
    - And maybe were able to avoid defaulting on a mortgage or selling a house at a loss. -- nm - mara Feb 8, 12:10
