Man, I love tax time.

Recommended Posts

I apologize if there's already a thread for this. I looked, didn't see one.

 

Anyway, I can't be the only one who loves doing his taxes. I ran mine last night, and I'll be getting a combined $619 back from the governmnt, which I'll be using to fly out and see one of my best friends in Seattle. My roommate, who filed 0, got some $1500 back. So awesome.

 

Anyone else got any big plans for their refunds?

Same thing I did last year:

 

Case of beer, bucket of chicken, a tank of gas and whatever two video games I'd like in April (it was Forza and an XBox Live renewal last year, Halo 3 and MLS 2k6 this year).

 

With the remainder:

 

1/2 towards my loan

1/2 towards a golf membership or a couple rounds.

You're going to be very disappointed if you're expecting to get Halo 3 in April.

Congrats you all for giving Uncle Sam an interest-free loan.

 

The kkk household will be doing their taxes tomorrow, the first filing as a married couple, and the first where we can write off the interest from our mortgage, or whatever that deduction is when you buy a house.

I've got no idea how much I'm getting back, but I guarantee all of its going towards grad school tuition.

Then I can claim it again next year. Its a dirty cycle.

Still have to do mine. It depends on how much I get back to see what I'll spend it on. I'll probably do something wild and crazy like...PUT IT IN THE BANK or something.

Approx $1600 is coming back to me from the Feds. Thank you student tax credit, and a mother who knows how to help me out.

Last year I took everything to H and R Block, who told me I owed the government 350 bucks. They also charged me 30 bucks if they went ahead with filing, but gave me a free pizza coupon...which I had to go pick up, they wouldnt even deliver it.

 

I told em no, and for the first time in my life, cursed the Canadian government. And I've lived through AdScam and the inclusion of GST.

 

My grandmother, who's a bookeeper, did my taxes and got me 700 back, and even managed to carry-over my school tuition and charity donation write-offs this year.

 

Maybe this year I'll just go on a bender or put it all on a horse.

I get a $153 refund for federal taxes and a crisp dollar refund from state taxes, which is all the tax I paid this year.

 

Not bad for almost failing to make a five figure wage this year (and I'm quite sad about that).

I did my taxes about 2 weeks ago for free online and I've already had the money taken out/put in the bank.

 

I owed $48 to the Feds but I got $64 back from the great state of Maryland.

So Im ahead $16.

 

Whee!

Now that's the way to do it

I'm getting back just shy of a thousand, state and federal combined. This marks the first time I've done taxes before the week they are due.

I made 20,000 in taxable income, and claiming head of household with two children, and a diabled spouse. I get back 6778.00 from federal. Not bad when I only payed the Federal government 1500 during the year. Thats loneshark interest right there.

$6900 back in federal, $1000 back from the state of Iowa for me. I always have them take about $20 extra out of each paycheck for federal, $10 back from state.

 

Most of it is paying a loan to my in-laws and to pay off my student loans...finally my student loans paid off.
