The time when being self employed stinks.....tax time.

The CPA that I consult, says that the perfect return is one that shows you owing the FED anything less than $1000.  That way they cannot charge you penalty and interest on your debt.  She says that setting yourself up for a large return is a bad idea, as the government will only earn interest on your money, and not share any of the wealth with you.

So, according to the CPA, you did it right.
