Smallest ever, actually: $14.

This year's the last year of Simple Taxes for me, though, as I finally 
own a house. At least I don't have any kids <shudder>.

I don't pretend to understand withholding or how it works, but I do know 
that for whatever reason, my employer has always withheld "too little" 
and I've had no real desire to correct it, as it has fallen below the 
threshold for paying penalties, and I've preferred to pay now rather 
than paying all year long. But I recognize that I'm in the minority on that.

Obviously, as Rick! pointed out, employers can apparently do whatever 
the hell they want to, withholding-wise. Have you talked to the payroll 
people at yr workplace (or other coworkers) find out if maybe somebody 
misread something & over-adjusted yr withholding?

So did you actually pay more in taxes this year on the same adjusted 
gross income than last year? Do you still have last year's tax tables to 
compare?
