[BlackVert]

I'm only getting .....

$5700

back.

maybe i can splurge on some stuff ... :wink:

 

[Adam95GT]

Thats more money then i have to my name.

 

[blksn955.o]

We got about 1k less than you blkvert...all of it is going in our "next home fund"...along with what we get next year, some of last years return and a little we put in there.

I am just glad I don't live in a high cost of living area.

 

[revhead347]

That's a good chunk of change. If I paid any real taxes I might get some back.

[ProKiller]

i didn't even get 10% of that....

 

[revhead347]

I got like $2K back this year from fed and state.

[Pops Fun]

Well I owe $1800 so enjoy!!

 

[BlownFiveLiter]

Nice. I got a little over a grand back. It was already spent the day I got it.

Sounds like you have your with holdings dialed in. As long as you don't pay a penalty, why give the government an interest free loan?

[BlackVert]

i would much rather get money back ... sort of like forced saving.

that seems like the only way that works for me to actually put money aside.

You should adjust your W-4 to take more exceptions so you don't end up loaning the government that much money (interest free) next year too.

It's your choice, but assuming you're not self-employed, almost every employer offers some sort of payroll deduction. You could set that up to a savings account or money market account, and you'd be earning the interest instead of the government.

That said, as a taxpayer, I would like to say thank you for your extra donation (the interest on your $5k loan).

 

[BlackVert]

i already have like 10 exceptions on my W4.

Did you get social security numbers for your dogs or something?

Kurt

 

[COBRA90GT]

^ LOL @ SSNs for dogs, if that's the case, I'm gonna adopt a dozen !


<---------- Also not a huge fan of giving away interest free loans.

 

[BlackVert]

heh ... it is probably that my property tax and mortgage interest was so freaking high!

property taxes were $8200 and i shelled out like $14000 in interest on my mortgage. then there is the deduction for my son's college tuition.

 

[Zero Signal]

I would have been in the 6400 range if my wife hadn't underpaid by almost 4000. I was planning to finish the car and pay off the cc too. Ahh well. Last time I adjusted my W4 by one exception, I owed $1200. Never again.

 

[Twista]

exactly!1

same here sadly

 

[Guero]

I got 6,600 back I believe. I dont mind giving the gov a interest free loan. Least I can do since I didnt join the army lol!
