since I know none of you in person, I don't mind telling you how much I'm getting back...



over $4,600!! woo hoo!!! time to pay off the motorcycle!



(there's a reason, though...)

 

Lucky dog. I thought I was doing well at $535!



J

 

it's because I made $17,xxx during the year, claim head of household, have a wife with no job, a son, and I go to school...I think that's why, I had someone else do my taxes

 

I got back $4xx and only paid in $100....I was dirt poor last year.

 

I think I owe $133.. Looks like I'm the odd man out here.

 

I remember reading in one of my Personal Finance books about how many millions (or billions?) are lost in interest from the government taking money during the year then giving it back, minus interest...kinda makes you think...



So if you end up paying money, from the interest perspective, the government is actually losing money in interest while you're holding that money for the year.



I'm gonna stop before I confuse myself.

 

It's not really a loss, though...more like opportunity cost. Take that, gov't! j/k

 

If that is the case then I am making out like a bandit, I owe $1400 between state and federal. I usually come pretty close to breaking even but this year my checks got all screwed up when the company I work for was bought out.

 

i aint getting back **** lol

 

man, I'm glad I don't have state income tax, that sounds like it just sucks
