I won't be getting a refund so I'm in the opposite position - trying to figure out what I can sell to pay what I'll owe.

No refund. I don't like to lend my money interest-free all year...I'd rather save up (and earn a little interest) and pay a bit at tax time.

No refund -- we owe. We always try to come as close as possible to getting zero back/paying zero, preferring to invest our money ourselves rather than giving it to the government interest-free, but in 2007 a couple of circumstances resulted in our having to pay this year. Fortunately, my bonus from work will cover it, so that's that. It would have been nice to use my bonus for something fun, but 'tis not to be. Oh well, I'm very lucky to be getting one!
