As best I can figure we'll "break even" with the new tax bill which is fine; I'm just super excited it will help my children!

! If we have too, I'd rather "take the hit" then have my kiddos pay more tax. It might put a "squeeze" on youngest DD but she's okay with it too since, for her, that means business is GOOD

. That sucks for you Diane, dealing with not having both those credits in one year!

Maybe things will work out and you'll get a refund for YOUR Disney trip!

Get those papers to the accountant and "get it over with"; I'm hoping to drop ours off tomorrow on the way to the soccer game....IF DH gets home early enough for a short side trip before the game.
