Official 2014 Income Tax Thread

this is the first year i filed my own. used turbo tax and due to my HSA account they made me buy their deluxe edition which was $29. then they charged me $34 to file both fed. and state returns together. so ended up paying $71 instead of the normal $200 that i normally pay to have them filed.
Just kidding, getting a little back. Started over from scratch now that I have all my paperwork. It didn't grab the education tax credit so that made it positive instead of owing ~$220.
So a question for the more informed. Should I keep my deductions the same as where they were at for this year? Single, "bread winner" where my income pays for and maintains my house. I'd assume I claim 1, correct? I honestly have no idea what I should be doing, just checked off what I thought was correct. Obviously I don't have too huge of a tax deficit by the end of the year but like everyone else, I'd rather not claim too much and "oops, you owe us 6 grand because you're stupid" or something. Basically, is ~$220 a good number to owe? I got the max amount of money I could have withheld during the year but at the end of the year, I didn't have a huge deficit?
Am I thinking too much?

First year filing as married...should've not gotten married 
Between her being able to file as a single mom/head of household, and me being me...we used to make it rain during tax time.
Now we got back a decent amount of money, but less than half of what we got back last year as 2 "single" adults.

that sucks, I did real good when my wife wasnt claming taxes this year i fear getting hosed its the first year i claimed what i was supposed to so i dont expect to get much back i just dont want to pay
Damn man, hopefully numbers don't look shitty after you're done. For s & g's we tried to see how married filing separately would work...
couldn't use my student loan interest, and I ended up owing the feds $800. 
I honestly couldn't care about getting more or a huge return. It's nice, yes, but I just don't want to have to pay the government a large amount if I screwed something up.
Even better. The sooner I have it the better although it'll go towards the downplay mentioned of the new house I close on in May/June.
I always have to file "Married, filing separate" since my wife owns a company. Rather not have to pay the government and help her company out when I could pocket my own money. Her stuff is always separate from mine.
