Tax question

[meegannie]

"For part-year DC taxpayers, the adjustments to Federal Total Income that are attributed to the time you resided outside DC are taxable. Therefore, all adjustments to Federal Total Income that is attributed to the time you resided outside DC must be added back to the Federal Adjusted Gross Income to derive the DC Adjusted Gross Income. "

Does this mean that the money I made since I moved OUTSIDE of DC is taxable??? Why isn't it the adjustments that are attributed to the time I lived IN DC?

You got me swinging

I haven't a clue...I think it's just clarifying that even though you lived outside of DC for a portion of the year, you still have to claim all your Gross Income for the entire year.

Weird. I wonder if I can put in the "income taxed in another state section"....

 

[*BOOMCHAA!*]

it's weird that you just posted this.
I'm doing my taxes online as we speak.

 

[meegannie]

Okay, now it makes even LESS sense. I'm doing the return online, and it says my refund is $113. That's what I paid in DC taxes. Are they just not taxing me?

Yup...you got a full refund it seems. Congrats!

oh they TAXED you but that was during the year. this is just the adjustment period. essentially, you're getting excited about getting money back that already belonged to you in the first place.

Yes, but $113 was all that was taken out of my paycheck in DC taxes.

Taxed up

All I know is that living AND working in DC is damn expensive.
