Hey, thanks for subsidizing everyone who got preggers from ****ing! Your tax money is going to them. Pyramid! You're at the bottom. ;)

2%

I think even TurboTax lets you do it for free if you are under that amount - I think...

It used to when I made less than that.

Another free site is http://www.icanefile.org/

must work way to top of tax pyramid by working way to bottom of society

Married folks making a living wage won't qualify, but there's plenty of single fellas around, so it is worth posting.

Yup.

Guess next year I need to work "harder"...

THIS, i just had a guy in here that said he was getting over 9k. he has worked all year doing home improvements. claimed he didnt make a dime...

It irritates me because I watch people get these 6k checks while my developmentally disabled brother in law makes 18k a year and pays a few hundred dollars in federal taxes. Total horseshit.

I'm in complete agreement.

If he paid more would he really miss it?...

LOL

This is correct info, my bad...it went from 4.2 to 6.2.

I am all about being a responsible saver and all that jazz. Just when I got 5 year financing at 1.9%, I took that in a snap. Plow that downpayment into my Roth where I can easily beat that rate and not have to pay taxes on the return and the dealership is practically giving me money at that point.

I'm married, so just like my paycheck I won't see any of it. Now....this year I might demand some of it and go buy a huge ****ing rifle just to piss-off the liberals. Maybe an AR. Maybe a 30-30 or 30-06!!!

How'd it go Tattoo? Are you going to be the proud new owner of a PS3? *crossing fingers

I was pretty happy with the results even though it was about what I expected. Waited almost 45 min then another hour to get through it so two hours was a little lerve wracking. That is the longest it's ever taken to get it done just glad it's done. I may end up getting the PS3 but I got take care of some finance obligations first but I'm not as stressed now at least :thumb:

I will be a much happier camper in about two to three weeks :D

You work hard, brother. I want to see you have some of the things in life that make it fun. I definitely understand financial obligations first though. It keeps the roof over your head.

I'm afraid I'll be cutting the IRS about a 10K check this year. Assholes!

On a side note on that I talked to a guy who is going to be taking CDL classes in Hays cost 285 & I may end up going take them classes with him. It's not something I want to do persay, but it maybe my best option going forward at least a few years. My biggest fear in change is after having back surgery two years ago is if my back can take sitting in a truck bouncing around. I was a route sales driver for 12 years and it took a toll on my back for sure but that was do to a bunch of repetive lifting. I'd like to get back on the road but not have to do the lifting.

Thanks again Mr. Flopnuts keeping us in your prayers and thoughts. It does mean a lot and is appreciated.

I hear ya! Tax RETURN??? LOL! What's that??? I always end up paying more and never get anything back - even after claiming "Single / 0." I keep hearing something about those "well off" (making $200K +) not paying their fair share but I'm certain that I pay well over mine.

It all depends on your truck. You may be able to swing it if you get a decent truck.

I go see my accountant tomorrow to see how badly I'm getting bent over.

Last year, I got like 30 bucks back. I expect I will be cutting Uncle Sam a check this year.

pay off a cc bill then buy a good solid tv. no more cheap hd tv's for me. Samsung!

Sounds like to me he doesn't withhold it much. Is he doing a single rate or a single or married, but withhold at a higher single rate?

Yeah..those people getting "6k checks" are dumb asses.

He's single and files basic. What I mean by pays a few hundred dollars a year, is while everyone runs around with their 6 grand checks when they've paid usually no more than 2k tops into the system, he gets $70 and pays in $700.

So, since he doesn't have kids he gets to watch everyone that already makes 4 times what he makes run around and spend the money he put into the system that they didn't.

Yeah, because having kids should mean people who don't, can subsidize them through child tax credits. Whatever though, they can all enjoy the welfare. He gets by.

I get pissed if I owe or get refunded more than $500. My work bonus varies so much that's the best I can do to get within a window. If outside either way, I don't like it.

Oh I understand that he was filing single and basic. What I was referring to was, if he can do his W-4 and withhold it at a single or married but withhold at a higher single rate, it will take a little bit more of his pay, but at the end, he would almost break even, if not, may get a small refund.

I typically go that route, and add in another $20 of extra withholding if I was single and no kids. Just my opinion.

I was specifically talking about people who are single and has no kids in general.

For the first year ever, I will receive a sizable return. Every penny save for maybe a hundred dollars will go to debt payoff. If everything pans out right, I will have only my mortgage left.

Wth does welfare have to do with a child tax credit?

"no, please IRS, keep your $1,000 deduction. That's for those welfare chumps..."

No refund for me......beauty of owning your own company. Just hoping to write off as much as I can. The two checks I had to stroke last year sucked ****in ass. I've gotten a lot better at keeping track of things I can write off as this is year 3 now. I don't own a home because I don't know where I'm going to be in life in 5 years. Doing the renting a nice condo thing now. I don't need all the space of a house and without a family I don't really see the benefit. After interest and personal property tax the house is about a wash with the space and the sweet rental arrangement I have and I love the area I'm in. No maintenance, something breaks they come fix it, and I can give 30 days notice and I'm outta there penalty free. Suits my life for the present perfectly. For those getting a refund enjoy! If I can keep my tax bill from having a 2 in front of it I'll be pumped.

Just totaled out my 2009 GMC Sierra with only two payments left before it was paid off. Any return we receive will be used to help pay off whatever new vehicle we decide to buy.

People who don't know the difference between a tax return and a tax refund drive me crazy.

I'm planning to cut a check to the IRS for about $20,000 in April and couldn't be happier. Why you ask? Well that $20k has been sitting in a tax-exempt bond fund that returned about $800 in tax free interest. It also appreciated about $600, which was a bonus. Now I could have been much more conservative and put it in a money market fund and earned about $200. So the point is, $200 or $1400 - that's money in my pocket. I always withhold the bare minimum needed to avoid getting an under-withholding penalty.

Bonus tax advise: Check out Form 8880. If you make below certain income thresholds, are not claimed as a dependent, born before Jan 1 1995, and not a student, then you can receive a tax credit up to $1000 for contributions up to $2000 to an IRA. That's as much as a 50% match by the government! Go for the Roth. Thats all.

I GET REALLY EXCITED ABOUT MY TAX RETURN.

I make quarterly payments..im already fuked

I'm getting close to $4000 this year for the first time. I usually set my taxes pretty well, so my refunds are < $500. But, this year I got married and we are filing jointly.

Using it to pay off debts... Debt free in 2013.

Next year I get to do that. Hooray!

That will probably net you a solid 2% return after taxes.

I am not even getting into that. They over paid by 6k. That's dumb.

I'm talking about people who didn't pay 6k in. At all. They still walk with those 6k checks with their child tax credits. I don't know shit about it, because I don't have kids. I do know people though who don't make 16k a year getting 6k IRS income tax returns because of all of their kids.

Not bad at all. A $199 refund from the feds and I owed the state $334. I can live with that.

It has very little to do with the kids, and everything to do with the EITC. Child tax credit is capped at two kids iirc, so it doesn't matter if you have 2 or 10, you only get credit for two. The rest of that "6K" is from the EITC.....and you have to be working and putting in to get that too....

Wanna trade?

You also have to make a whole lot of not a damn thing and have kids.

We have 3 kids and got a $3000 tax credit last year. I've never heard anything about it being capped at 2 kids.

Back in the auto broker days, I paid everything at the end of the year. Some of those tax bills were enough to drop a guy dead in his tracks. No more of that crap.

Well, the program was obviously made for those on the lower income bracket. A husband and wife with 1 child can make up to $40k a year and still be eligible. 40k may not be a lot between 2 people, but they are certainly "putting in".

Lets say you have a married couple with one child. Dad works as much as he can and is pulling in 30K a year while mom is in school.

That family will likely pull in a 6K + Refund or more.

That's no reason to be bitter at them.

I could be wrong, but i think it's a 2013 thing.

Depends on where you are. If you are paying in a bunch in tax, why should they get a huge break when you don't? That's why people are bitter.

Also I've seen returns that worthless ****ers make 14000 at some pile of shit job, have a kid, live with the parents and just be ****ing worthless altogether. IIRC they had <500 withheld and are due a refund of 5500. That's what pisses me off more than anything.

Nevermind. I'm wrong. I must've mis-read something. I'll shut up now.

What's the difference, broskino?

Return = forms sent to IRS calculating total tax liability, payments and what you owe/refund.

Refund = overpayment to IRS.

Paying off my car!

I'm getting 2K back!

My credit card will go to zero balance for the first time since college (I'm 26) and my school loan will be 100% paid off in a single day!!!!

4k left on the car then I'm in the black - FOR GOOD.

:toast:

Did my taxes tonight.. getting back enough to do it. ($3953) Debt can suck it! Now to get this house sold~

That's not bad at all. Generally it's a refund from a federal and owe the state is about the norm these days, unless some people withheld more for the state taxes. I normally add in another $5 withholding for the state, so that way that my bill to the state is low, which is $66 that I owe. I'll be getting a nice refund from the federal.

Shit I've been doing that for a while. Sucks

This.

I hear ya. I went in and had the office manager take out an exta $20 a check so I won't have to deal with it next year. My tax lady also called and said there was a glitch in her program and I only owed $94 in state this year, so I expect a $240 refund on the excess state I sent in as well. We'll see how fast that happens.

Yeah, that's a good thing that you took out the extra $20 a check (I'm assuming both federal and state?), otherwise, the bill would have been fatal for you... lol.

This. I'm paying that money to them
Posted via Mobile Device

LMAO

Exactly

Got back $666 federal, maybe they're trying to tell me something...

Still waiting on a Special K form before I can officially file but based on turbotax I will be getting 5k! Must be because of making decent money but only working 7 months since I graduated in May, meaning I paid a lot of taxes but ended up in a much lower tax bracket. Plus I had some deductions for that money I paid for school. Anyway, pretty jacked about it!

Probably pay a little extra on my student loan, put some extra in my Roth IRA and get my girl a ring!

Sweet sack, that's freaking awesome brother!

K-1?

Don't get too hot to trot. K-1 is a form that has to report income. You're income may be higher.

Yea, but it isn't as much as most K-1's. Will only add about 1k to my income as it was a small gift trust I cashed out of.

It's my money and I want it now!

In our family, that's called "an essential item".

Well it's been 20 days from when I filed my taxes. This is bullshit I know they said it could take up to 21 days but come on really it really has to take that long? **** me I want my money to pay my outstanding debts with and everyday I have to wait just makes me more stress about it.


****ing IRS **** YOU IT's MY Money and I want it now!


/rant

I want to be in a better mood come this time tomorrow this is ridiculous. I feel like my life is on hold untill I get that return and get things straitened out. Tired of being stress.

? I got mine in 5 days.

I'm going to have to adjust my shit because the wife and I got back $11,000.

Since I don't have anything taken out for the state or the Feds, I got to pay $1,600 to DC and owed MO zippo! My ETR is below Romney's, so alls good.

Wouldn't get in a hurry. IRS=****ed up this year.

They still haven't released the form for DPAD yet.
