Income Tax Happy Thread (or ranting thread)

Did my taxes. -=Happy Ewok Dance of Joy!=- Getting a return -=more HEDoJ!=- It's almost $1000. -=even more HEDoJ!=- E-filed. Gonna get it back soon. Woo!

 

Mine will be here next Friday!

Unfortunately I give 1/2 of it to mom but . . . there's still some for me!

 

so far, i have only done part of my taxes, but it still over 200!

 

just got my last W2 , hoping for enough of a refund to something with it.

 

What is this you speak of?


*SB*

 

I'm hoping mine will fund my laptop purchase next month I'll find out next Saturday

 

Mine gets taken away, so I try to work it that I pay $20 or so every year

 

kinda confused on my taxes. I figured I would be getting a teeny tiny return since I had 4 months tax-free pay (and tax-free combat/hazard pay on top of that), but I guess for some reason all the extra pay goes under soc sec wages instead of regular wages or something, so my wages for last year were only like 9,000, and I guess I have to pay less taxes on that so I will actually get a decent return? I dunno, maybe I don't understand how mum was explaining it, but she's really good w/ taxes and stuff, so I guess she'll figure it out. So long as I get money back, I'll be a happy camper.

 

soldiers pay taxes? how weird that you pay the gov for paying you.

 

yeah, airmen pay taxes too.

 

My daddy does my taxes...

Which reminds me I need to mail out my w2 forms to him...

 

YAY!!!!! i finished mine. grand total will be over 500!!! Im gonna get about 300 from state. which is odd since last year i barely got anything from them.

 

My return will enable me to purchase my laptop for my birthday

 

In my opinion no person who is active duty/disabled vet should have to pay a darn thing from their military wages to the IRS.I can see filing a reurn to get money back but if they owe anything i think it should be null and void.

 

getting about $730 total (state and fed)...that will go to paying of education for my classes (oops), making credit card payment...and my one fun thing I'll spend it on is my new rod&reel (maybe some tackle too).

 

I hear you, I_B. It makes no sense to pay taxes if you are getting paid from taxes as a member of the armed services.

That being said, with my military pay and how some of the 'extra pay' being untaxable, I only cleared about $24K in taxable income last year. With all of my deductions and business write-offs, not to mention 3 little deductions running around the house, we're getting back about $4200!!!



I wish I could say that all of that is play money and woohoo and all that, but it's spoken for already. It will get me on a plane back down to Phoenix and let me bring back all of my stuff that's in storage, and it will give us down payment money on a place (apt, home, whatever), and help pay off some of the bills that we're falling behind on.

I am extremely excited about this though, it's the first true ray of light that I've had in a while. (financially, that is)
