So you will file married filing jointly and you two made 80,000 together. According to the 2007 tax rate schedules (http://www.irs.gov/formspubs/article/0,,id=150856,00.html) you will owe $8,440 plus 25% of the amount over $61,300.
So...
8440 + .25(80,000 - 61300) = 13,115 is what you owe the IRS for this year.
You can subtract your expenses and the money that your hubby has already paid into taxes this year, and add a $1000 tax credit for each of your children.
I always recommend seeing a tax pro the first year that you have something significant happen in your "filing status" life as you could be missing hundreds or thousands of dollars. Don't go to HR Block - they charge a ton! If you go see a certified CPA, it usually costs about $150 - $200 but I'd care to bet that they will save you at least that much. HR Block is good, don't get me wrong but those places charge by the form. When you have children, a house and a home business it can be outrageous!
