Anybody else get extra in their paycheck?

[florige]

Or did I just get a raise. I think the federal tax cut has taken effect.

[JudynTX]

It's an April Fools joke? :lmao Did you do what you said you were going to do?

Yeah, but she figured out it was a joke and I couldn't fool her. :lol

[DoubtingThomas]

The new tax rates should be in effect now.

[SpursStalker]

I got a few extra bucks ...

:downspin:

The feds say (http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=205926,00.html):

"Q4. What is the effective date for all employers to begin using the new tax tables?

A. The IRS asks that employers start using these new tables as soon as possible, but no later than April 1, 2009."

So, it's possible.

I have no idea whether my company has started since the paycheck I got on the 31st is the first one reflecting a US-wide 5% pay cut. :depressed

:rolleyes Wow that freakin sucks! That happened to me too. The timing wasn't as bad though.

[Bigzax]

adjust your W-4 and put the extra money back!

Yup, why not let the US govt hold your money and earn 0% interest.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

oh, are you talking about that extra $15 or so per paycheck, if you're bi-monthly, that we're being graced with?
:lmao

to quote The Jesus "it's laughable, man"

[Don Quixote]

Somewhere in here is a plethora of Soviet jokes.

[JoeChalupa]

Every little bit helps. At least for me it does.

Did you want an iPOD instead? :D

[robino2001]

Mine kicked in for the end of Feb paycheck (coulda been March 15th) I believe... extra $25 a check - not horrible... anything counts

[florige]

Yeah man same here!

[Don Quixote]

It'll be gone before too long. These federal programs have to get paid for somehow.

[florige]

Why do I have a feeling this thread will end up getting moved to the political forum. lol

[batman2883]

why couldnt we just get another lump sum check dang it

[Shelly]

I got my tax table updates for my accounting software a few weeks ago. Get a whopping $33/per check (semi-monthly). Party!

[Thunder Dan]

I think I've been getting it for the last month or so. I get paid every week, and I've been getting like $20 extra a week

That is almost $800 a year. I'll take that if you don't want it.

[mrsmaalox]

It may not equal much, but I'm sure it will make a difference to some struggling folks.

Like Joe said every little bit helps. Hell that is a extra tank of gas for me a month. At current prices anyway. lol

[Shelly]

Considering that I owe money this year AND have to pay estimated taxes quarterly, you already did.

[Richard Cranium]

I'd rather have the money now and pay later.

[Drachen]

This is just going to be an extra few percent towards my 401k

[SpursWoman]

It's supposed to be $400 for an individual, $800 for married filing jointly. So if you're *making work pay* at a rate of $800 and so is your spouse, you're going to owe $800 of that back when you file your 2009 taxes. So, that's something that should probably be verified so you don't get any nasty surprises.

Also, some employers started *making work pay* for paydates starting in early March, and since the rates weren't supposed to supposed to really be effective until April 1, those that got extra in March will owe that back. Granted, it's not going to be more than $50-60. I know ADP adjusted their rates for our Company for the March 1st+ payrolls, so I've gotten a little more since my 3/13 paycheck.
