Did My Taxes!

[STIBungy]

That is all.

[Kwando]

i have my refund already..

[STIBungy]

I'm usually lazy every year and do it late in the tax season.

[Kwando]

do you owe? i know some people that owe and they don't send in the refund until the last minute.

[Deceptakhan]

Thanks goodness my second child was born 2 days before new years. He was actually due on the 7th of Jan.

[STIBungy]

I'm getting $4700 back. Unfortunately, I got about $4k in property taxes to pay too. :(

GOD DAMN! I can't wait till I graduate pharm school, maybe I will get refunds like that to.

[sbiggi]

I got mine back 3 months ago.

[john]

We finally did ours as well. Procrastination and all.

[Pang]

Wish I had a refund coming in the mail :(

[hatchbackgirl]

I sent ours last week, thank God!

[Dave_L]

I still have to do mine. :(

[hatchbackgirl]

We're getting money back, I was shocked and amazed! =) I love our tax lady.

[Mario]

Gettin Turbo Tax from my friend in a day or two and then will do them.

You won't if you do your taxes correctly.

Good way to go. It's freakin expensive now. It cost me $114 just for doing it all online and sending it via e-file. $75 for Premium, $35 for state and sales tax.

I remember 3 or 4 years ago, Turbotax only cost me $20 for the fed.

Yeah, it cost me $45 for TurboTax Deluxe + $36 to file federal and state. I think they're trying to get people to switch to TurboTax Online, which is cheaper, but I still prefer the CD version. Speaking of which, Walmart is apparently not carrying the Deluxe version this year... they show it on their website for $40, but when you go to the store, there's an empty shelf spot for it between the basic version and Premium. That was the case at the 4 Walmarts I went to (3 of them being Super Walmarts). I just ended up going to Target, who had plenty in stock.

[hatchbackgirl]

I still like paying $130 to have my tax lady do them, it takes some stress out of my life :)

[Brandon]

I haven't even thought about doing mine yet.

[Minotaur]

My tax lady does taxes free for college kids :) and 60 for both my folks... Love the small town!

[ryanman]

I did mine 3 months ago.

[Hellified SH]

We did ours on Turbo Tax a month ago, got $4500.00 back from the IRS, and we owe the damn state $209.00..... I never in my life owed the state and now I do, what the hell is going on.

[STIBungy]

That seems weird.

[Weston]

Yeah, the state does things a little differently... I got $18 back from Federal and owed the State of Colorado $29. But I had over $10k in deductions, so I'm kind of not surprised that it worked out weird.

COOKIE?? JK

I agree with Stu whole heartedly. The accountant in me wants to whip out some time/value analysis of $4500 over the course of a year at equal installments with even a minimal rate... but my financial calculator is at work and I don't feel like trying to figure it out on my old TI-85.

Long story short, you'd rather have the money in your pocket when you get paid. Time is money - especially 2006.

[stu]

See, I know all about that, but I wouldn't invest my money anyway, I'd just spend it (like most people) so even I would rather the government hold my money hostage from me. :)

Yup, even ignoring inflation, money today is worth more than the same amount of money tomorrow. This is why major corporations bust their asses to count as much revenue as possible before the end of each financial quarters. They even spend thousands of dollars to do it. It's what the shareholders want... more money today, not tomorrow. I personally got paid 18.75 hours of overtime last week because of it... of course, almost half of that OT pay went to taxes, even with me having 3 allowances on my W4 :mad:

[hatchbackgirl]

We got back from State last year and had to pay Federal like $500. We changed our deductions and this year we got money back from both.

[crxrocks]

I am getting back about $6k between state and fed. I need to adjust my W4 I guess. How do you figure out how much to adjust it w/o losing my ass next year?

[Richard T]
