Holy crap... by my calculations, I actually get a $181 refund from the Feds. (And have to pay the State $11. Usually it's the other way around.)
This is oh so much better than the several hundred bucks I had to pony up a few years ago (the first year I did Schedules C/SE, I guess; whoopee for freelance work). I seriously adjusted my withholding after that. I know, free loans to Uncle Sam, yadda yadda... but the 78 cents I would have made in interest on this amount is oh so worth the peace of mind I feel right now.
I went right ahead and wrote checks to my favorite charities, for almost the entire total. What the hell, they've been waiting for it from me for months. :-)
Bed now. Pizza tomorrow. Baruch ha-Shem.
