Now I know why people shit out kids as fast as they can, tax deductions!!!!  What are you spending
your return on? I just ordered another evil black rifle and will order another in a couple weeks. Also going to pay off the car and buy my old lady something nice. |

I try to underpay every year … no way in hell am I going to count on getting extra money that I send to these guys back, especially now that places like CA are starting to send out IOU's for tax returns.
I'm anticipating owing around 500-600 and will do everything I can to whittle that amount down. |

For a change I actually expect to get money back this year.
Redoing one of the bathrooms and maybe some other small improvements on the house...maybe drop a little toward the mortgage principal. Nothing flashy...no new toys...just some practical investments. Maybe a steak dinner somewhere nice, but thats about it. |

you'll spend more on that kid than you'll EVER get in deductions...I love to hear all my friends with kids bragging about their fat tax return check while they spend thousands each year feeding and housing their children. I'm getting back 800 this year and its going towards principal reduction on my Jeep payment.Now I know why people shit out kids as fast as they can, tax deductions!!!! What are you spending

It was going to pay for granite counter tops. Now it's going to my CC to pay off the new roof  . Ahh, to be living in an apartment again. I'd be friggin' loaded.
Just like my annual bonus was going to buy a Trek Madone 5.5. Then the bonus pool got eliminated. Thank you, Ken Thompson! Semper Fi |

Fellas, a tax RETURN is the form you send the government. A REFUND is what you get when they took too much out during the year.
Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with. If you get something called a "savings account", you can not only get that fuzzy feeling any day of the year, you can also get paid interest while doing it !!! |

I did my taxes tonight and the wife and I will get around $1100 back so far. I'm holding off, though, for the following:
1) We have been shopping for our first home and would like to take advantage of the $7500 first time homebuyer tax "credit" (loan) - if we can close by 04/15/09 of course 2) I heard part of the upcoming stimulus package will include a $1000 tax credit for married couples Any truth to number 2? ETA: All of the above would probably go into home improvements in said property to be purchased |

Damn...you could have bought that stuff already if your withholdings were higher (I set mine to 9). As another posted stated, with California giving out IOUs, do you REALLY want to give negative interest loans to any government? |

Uhm...your emotions are backwards. You should be sad about "getting back" and happy about owing. |
