Presently on unemployment - for all of 2012.
Chose no withholding tax as option for weekly payout.
My yearly expenses ( based on home mortgage / medical expenses etc.. ) greatly out way all income / tax payback about...
When doing 2012 tax return do I have to state the amount of tax that would have been needed to pay back even though I will not need to pay back since expenses wash out need for tax payback??
