This year was the first time I have had to pay after filing my income taxes for a lifetime so I wasn't too happy about that. I had previously always had a side business that helped me get a refund but that has gone away.

When I lived in Indiana it was the state tax that I had the most trouble with and federal always seemed to work out. When I moved back to Michigan, it was pretty much the same as I would get a decent refund from the federal government and a smaller one from the state of Michigan. This year I had to pay federal income tax and just a tiny refund from Michigan but I'm still in the hole after paying the tax preparer.
