Yes ~ sadly none of us will be able to give you the same answer even if we all make the same amount of money and have the same expenses roughly because how much we pay in 'income tax' is also ultimately affected by our vastly different 'household income'

Your spouses income can make some of us ineligible for grants / tax breaks / rebates that other providers do get because their spouses income is either lower or they have no spouse at all or they have more 'dependents' and so forth which reduces their amount payable.

I agree with Playfelt ~ I have never heard of anyone having to pay more that $3000 unless they had a really cruddy accountant who was not doing their job at getting them every legitimate write off possible ... I have a peer who had that experience her first few years and thankfully found a competent account who REFILED and was able to get some of her money back and lower her taxes considerably!
