Yes. Unless you're sure you'll be ready to pay them next April. And/or you wouldn't be able to survive on the smaller amount right now.

Should I have Federal and State income tax withheld from my unemployment benefits?
Yes, because, in general, if you've worked at all during the year, they don't withhold enough overall because when you're on unemployment you are in the lowest tax bracket.

I never had my taxes taken out of my unemployement because I always considered it an arts grant and took the full amount and usually six months off. So my income went down and I didn't owe anything.
If you're planning on finding a job, though, and getting back to work before you exhaust your benefits then you should have the taxes taken out.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bah. After years of not having a problem, my mail is getting returned to sender again. I found this out because a check addressed to me got returned to the sender. There was nothing wrong with the address, and my name/appt # is on list for my building.

I really can't afford to take six months off. I have to pay rent, and unemployment won't stretch very far.
Am having taxes taken out. And getting a migraine from filing for unemployment.
Oh, and I have a job interview on Tuesday.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
fingers crossed for interview.

Good luck, shrift.
I don't know what the fuck I've been doing all day, but it certainly wasn't crossing things off my to-do list. I really hope we get out early tomorrow....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Interview-ma, shrift!

Oh my. Apparently my post office is a portal to hell: [link]
I hope this place burns down and all of its employees with it. Mean? You bet you ass! my purse was stolen and my mail key with it. I couldn't get another mail key for a week. The idiot box postal man took it upon themselves to return all of my mail to the original senders. Now I have to contact every one of my utility companies/ credit cards/ magazine subscriptions/ netflix subscriptions to let them know that I still do reside at my address.
I spoke with the manager LYNN JOHNSON. What a f*cking B*tch. God I'm so pissed. Avoid this office at all costs! I should burn it down myself.

I'm convinced this is a direct portal to hell. I've had multiple packages go missing, one of which (a poster box) was repeatedly stepped on and destroyed. In addition, the woman behind the counter was considering not accepting my credit card since it said Andy and my drivers license said Andrew.

I hate them. Truly. My mail service is spotty (magazines go missing, mail is OPENED, and Netflix...well, if you fall under the Uptown Post Office, don't bother with this service, unless you want DVD pieces). I try to avoid this place at all costs...only to pick up packages (that are NEVER there)
Chicago has (I think) the worst mail delivery of any big US city. Looks like I've got an especially bad post office.
