My wife and I both claim 0-married and still pay every year. I allways thought of it as my duty as a productive part of society. But I'm thinking its more of a punishment for working hard and trying to make a good liveing. The loan on our house is getting low enough that we dont pay much interest, I think 2011 will be the last year we have enough deductions to itemize. I'm sure we'll have to pay even more going EZ form.
