Hey guys, I filed my taxes for this year and my refund was less than last year, PLUS I made more money this year lol. Federal refund was like 17xx and california refund was 40 <-- Good enough for a fill-up and a half heh. Who here is paying bills and who here is using theirs to buy new goodies?
If Angelito and Noah is lurking somewhere, we're going to be a nice rolling set of CLs Ya know what i mean

I haven't done taxes yet. Im spending like Im getting a big refund though.

Which probably won't be the case

ChineseGuyinthe415

Yea...that's what i'm trying to avoid this year. Applying everything on credit and that's when the depression kicks in haha. Save the money and set it aside, then when you have enough do the purchase! More rewarding in my opinion instead of getting raped by interest.
I'm doing like 500 every check for my tuition for school. So far I have ..... $500 lol

I only have one credit card, and its a corporate account. So everything I buy I have to pay outright.

ChineseGuyinthe415

dang, what do you do at 20 that gets you a corporate card? Haha. In your case I guess it doesn't even matter about the card since you have to pay it up front anwyays

I work for a major computer manufacturer. They gave me it last year around this time because they were shipping me around the southeast. They never asked for it back and my manager said just hold onto it.

Havent filed yet but i recieved my W2's today! Expecting a refund and if thats the case its going straight to the bank...........or maybe it will find its way onto my CL

goose25

I'm expecting around $2K and most of that will go towards plane tickets and some furniture. We need to replace a 52 in Mitsubishi (POS) LCD sometime in the near future and I hope to save at least a couple hundred to help with that.

TS_eXpeed

Won't get much. Only work the first 3 weeks of last year.

imj0257

iTrader: (1)

Me too! WTF!?

And I only made about $2k more this year than last year, and my tax refund is something like $500 less than last years'. Anyone care to explain that?

Whatever I get back...will probably end up on the money pit.

subinf

Did she live next to the stables? Otherwise I don't know what you were smelling.

AznX TL

i dont expect too much, just trying not get my hopes high. but most likely it'll go into the bank for later spending.

Blazing GT

Blazing GT

Exhaust, Rotors, JET PEFORMANCE ECU REFLASH, intake....all performance in one lovely check

SupaRookie

On another note...

Guys...if you're getting a huge refund (like over $1k), you may want to consider adjusting your W2.

It's your money, why loan it to the gov't?

1killercls

OK..I gotta ask. Why in the hell do you guys let the government use your money interest free? Because that is what you are doing. You need to adjust your withholding to make it so it breaks even or you pay a little at the end of the year. Again..why the fuck should they have your money, and you have to wait for a refund to get it back, and with NO INTEREST!!!???!!!

Better be getting something nice back, but the way taxes have been going, the more i make the more they take, hopefully all the interest i paid on my mortgage will account for something papa needs some summer tires

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

I keep my withholding at 5 or 6 for that very reason, I'd rather owe a bit, hoping they owe me this year though

arstraub

Aww, you guys and your cars that work...MUST BE NICE. I need a freaking timing belt, a tune up, and an alternator, that's where mine's going!

FiftyFive

Must be all the stupid commercials. I'm not getting anything back, was a little surprised, however i'm happy to know i'm not lending the government any money either.
