Come get your rep if........
 

you filed your taxes!

Rep the OP because this guy is done!

:thumb:

I am getting some maaaaajor money back this year. Major.

In before people bitch about giving an interest free loan to the government.

I'm on my phone, I'll rep you later, Lew.

I normally owe a few hundred bucks every year so I don't even think about it until around the first of April.

Mr and Mrs Lewdog are getting a good chunk back as well.

:thumb:

Already done!

There's a guy in our town who does that stuff, and his last name is Borstein. Sold!

I know, I could have earned that whole .10% interest if I had that parked in my savings account instead.

We actually take some of the money we get on a refund every year and drop extra into our Roth IRA accounts. I personally spend money I get back, like a refund, wiser than if I was just receiving more money each month.

Been done, already got loot back

Welp, guess you should have made a thread about it.

Paying out the ass as usual.

Sorry for your loss.

It's still your money that was withheld. Though it is nice when you file and pay less than you had assumed.

Is it April 14th already?

ROFL

As soon as I get the 6-9 pieces of paper required to file I get it done

Usually get stuck waiting on the w2

We should be going this week and getting the usual $8k-10k back.

8-10k

Damn that is winning

Damn bro. That seems excessive. You know counting Inmem as a dependent isn't probably legal, even if he does seem like a child you're caring for?

Done!

Dumb

I learned early on that when I owed that it super-sucked, when I broke even I didn't have a yacht in a slip because I kept the money, and I had a car repair I was going to put on a credit card because the headache I drank myself into was sponsored by the money I would have otherwise loaned to the government.

My current goal, even though I'm a LOT older, is to get between $2K and $4K back.

No loss, I have their money and they're not getting it for several more months.

**** YOU IRS I WIN

My mortgage interest deduction was lower and will continue dropping off.

That sucks during tax time :/

Does everyone do the shit themselves or do you go to a tax person?

Once I realized how easy it is to file myself I felt ****ing tarded for paying some dipshit a few hundred bucks for data entry

They will not be getting 1.5k until April.
Should be closer to 0 next year.

www.Taxact.com Love that everything rolls over from one year to the next.

3 kids
Mortgage interest
Student loan interest
Wife is in school
Wife is in the military and doesnt pay state taxes

We got a hefty return this year because I cut back my teaching while going back to school and we paid out the ass in childcare fees.

Damn, that helps a ton!

We've got a mortgage and nothing else. LOL.

I did mine last week. Already got PAID 2 days ago!

Families with military members (head of household or spouse..) should pay zero taxes!

And anybody who disagrees with me can **** off, fist themselves, and take a trip to the fight and then tell me I'm wrong.

And fist yourself while you're over there!

When you're trying to be funny and it doesn't work. :facepalm:


You tired too hard with that one.

If you filed your taxes I'll rep you.

I file next week, I'll bump this thread when I do.

Most worthless tax credit. We paid close to $20k in childcare and only got a $1k credit.

I have to file by 3/1. I have a couple more things to reconcile. Hopefully I can file by tomorrow.

I'm really hoping my liability isn't too bad. I think I managed it properly. There are a couple things that came up that I didn't expect, but hopefully between my withholdings, the extra exemption from mean girl, child tax credit, daycare, and I get 1/2 SE Health insurance that I took it up the ****ing ass on, the vehicle mileage that I kept, hopefully I can not owe too damn much.

I help the tax person do taxes during the winter. She reviews it when I'm done. Unfortunately it is getting more intensive every year. Next year I'll have at least one more entity, and optimistically an investment or two. I need a bookkeeper :(

NERD!

$1K > $0

:shrug:

Already got both returns and invested wisely in savings and credit-building.

Gonna file them on Tuesday.

mrs. cabletech94 is always on top (during tax season)!!

cue the shane McMahon song!!!


money money money!!!!!!!

No. Tons of people get way more back than what they pay in.

Filed and already received money back.

were buying the oldest a car with our refund so she will move out.

I didn't file since I didn't make any money! I am disabled and stuff. Dammit.

Still waiting on our1099 from Edward Jones. Come the **** on Eddie!

Got the gf's and mine filed. She is getting quite a chunk, I just started a new job and not getting back as much as I did previously. I'm making more money and it must've put me in a different tax bracket.

You should still file. It'd be humorous, especially if you got audited.

That's a damn shame.

I'd actually made more last year than the previous 3 years in school. Consequently with the EITC I'm getting back around 4500. Saving some paying bills with rest and knowing with the new job I'll never see Uncle Sam giving me that hand out again.

Filed Jan. 29 and got the state refund Feb. 5. They're on the ball I guess.

Still waiting on IRS...

ROFL

I love this.

Rep.

You're not kidding. I was pretty bummed to realize it, but the extra money in my paycheck is nice :D I actually owed state, though. Guess I need to give a bit more this year. I hate owing.

My gf got her MD return back pretty damn quick as well.

You're going to lose an exemption and not get a refund next year. But her a bike and spend the rest on hookers and blow.

If you're getting any disability, especially if you got any 1099s you should file. May not owe, but you'd hate to get audited with all the other shit you have going.

Filed, and paid already.

You do estimates?

Yep. Pay all year so i don't have to pay as much at the end.


****ing sucks, but not as bad as having to pay it all this time of year

Thanks SR. This week should be good. I'm asking for a raise tomorrow too. I've got all the leverage with the company I work for and can't wait to see how they respond.

xoxo lewdog.

I'm fighting it kicking and screaming. I don't have regular income or expense, so it's not that big of a deal to get a big bill.

"I owe, I owe, it's back to work I go."

Did mine, got my refund, spent most of it already.

How many ounces?

i write checks every day. i hate big bills, especially this time of year.

You would hate my line of work then. All I get is big bills. Poop your pants big (at least for me).

Just filed ours and am relieved to be getting a whopping $23 back. Somehow had it figured about right this year, that's the closest to even I can recall.

Pfft, I already got my return last week.

I can't believe individuals pay companies to do their shit for them. I've been doing my own taxes since 1987.

Much akin to hiring a lawyer for a court case, right?

I get your point, and in some cases you're right, but when you have investments (outside of the corporate 401k plan), multiple properties, some rentals, kids in college, AND you're trying to **** Obama's whore minions out of stealing most of your coin, you hire a pro. And it's not just the trip to Wal-Mart's H&R Block curtained-off area, for some it's a financial advisory to help them with their coin as they're busy making more of it.

Oh no, I get that the multi-layered tax return needs professional guidance.

I'm taking about paying J-H or H and R over $100.00 to file a ****ing EZ or 1040 with no itemization whatsoever.

Ah, we agree.... And yes, if you can do an EZ, you need to (just to learn the process).

Rep...

I need to get better at trying to get close to break even. We have both claimed 0 the past two years and are getting 4-5k back on refund. We should probably switch to claiming 1 on our W4s for this year and see what happens.

Getting about 7K from the gub'ment back in a few days!

I've filed an F since I was 16. I've needed help. Since I've done it, I can do it now but I want my shot reviewed.

On the whole you'd be surprised how completely oblivious to anything that has any tax implications some people are. I've had clients come in and listened to my boss repeat the same shit over and over in the simplest least common denominator way possible and people just can't ****ing get it. One gal had a kid move out and lost a exemption. My boss couldn't get it through the gals skull that if you're not supporting a kid you refund goes down. So finally she thinks she gets it and then tells her she owes a TINY amount on the state. WHAT? WHY? HOW? :facepalm:

Another gal in her like 30s cashed out her IRA and then wondered why on earth her taxes would be high.

Another dude got busy and just hasn't filed a damn thing in 3 years.

Another one didn't bother to mention he did construction on the side and then shows up with 1099s after the return was in.

Basic taxation practices are lost on a huge number of people.

And HR blocks target market are the EITC crowd. Those dollars are so huge it doesn't matter what they charge. And they know it.

Do the highest income one first. I'd bet you'll be underwithheld if you do them both.

I saw a couple poor souls at Jackson Hewitt in Walmart

I felt very sad for them. They probably pay 300 for someone to fill out the same forms they could fill out and file for half the price

**** the IRS

Getting around 1200 back in a few days which will be pretty nice. Its been years since I really got anything back probably 4 or so.

I paid about $40-$50 total to file federal and state on taxact.com. Unless your taxes are in arrears or just plain fubar i don't know why you'd pay people this kind of money to type numbers into a program.
