I want a new television. I'm still rocking the 480p with a big box on the back. I'd like to go with 1080p so I can see Lightning Returns in its full beauty. The tv I want will still leave me with plenty of money.
How about you? Will you buy anything?
I hope I didn't overlook this thread and it was already made...
I've had to pay for the last two years, but my accountant tells me my baby should get me a nice refund this year! Gonna buy her more diapers, woo!
BJ and I aren't really spendy people.
I'm torn between a PS4 or tickets to a sold out Arctic Monkeys gig even though I really only want to see the support bands. I have 2 weeks to decide.
My sister is already spending her money on really frivolous and stupid things and it irritates me.
As for me, I'm pay towards my student loans and buying tires for my car.
I'm actually having to pay this year. Does this mean I'm a grown up?
:(
Last year my tax return was better because of college, so I was able to splurge a bit. I mostly just purchased a much needed new wardrobe. This year it will basically just be a week's worth of pay. I have to give the state of NY back $27 for some reason.
Ill probably have to pay...but last year I paid and a cheque sent back to me because I had unused money from grants or something like that.
I want to buy the reboot collection =(
The amount you get from going to college is nice....pretty close to $1000 for meQuote:

It sucks to be "single", working to barely pay your bills and so that allows them to take the most from you. Why can't I get a tax break?
I'll probably be buying LR with my return as that about all I can afford.
Babies make for great tax breaks. :D I qualified for all the good trout and got back like $4500.
Anywho. .. Were I to get $$$ back, I would pay ahead on bills - prepay rent for a few months, pay ahead on phone, and whatever else I can to get enough ahead that I can have a little extra breathing room, then pay off tickets and things to get my license back, spend a little on myself, save the rest.
I don't get money back though cuz student loans, so I dont file.
If I can't have my money, NO ONE CAN!
I don't get a tax rebate. I'm going to buy civilization with my taxes, though!
... like, the state of being a developed country, not the videogame. I already own the whole series.
My February rent.
and Yeah I made $10,000 more this year than last and got back about $600 less than last year -_- I claim no dependents so I pay in a troutton in my paychecks and now get trout back. Oh right they want to force us to rely upon EBT cards, rent assistance and heat assistance to live.
We will see since I haven't gotten my papers from my job yet. I we my parents some money, so pay them back if they accept it. Otherwise, the money will go to clothes and potential vacation in the summer. SO GLAD FULL TIME STUDENT THIS TIME! :D
I always get killed by provincial taxes (Quebec has some of the highest in Canada). Federal always treats me right!
Tell me about it. I made only $11,000 last year but because college being something like 16,000 for tuition, I got back $1300. Now I only get back half of that and I made well over what I made last year, so I guess that's fair.Quote:

Anything extra goes towards the wedding atm. I'm not in need of anything else, really.
New PC.
If you're getting huge amounts of money back every year, you should probably just change your withholding to accurately reflect the reality of your financial situation and just get larger paychecks.
I will also go with diapers.Quote:

I havent rly worked much over the last couple of yrs.. Hell last yr alone I barely worked 2 months.
We payed off his last $3,000 owed in student loans, put some into savings, spent a little each on ourselves (I bought a new coffee pot and a gorgeous maxi dress since I will be very pregnant this summer and I feel so beautiful when I'm pregnant and wearing a dress!), and bought a couple of household items that needed replacing.
Hopefully I earn enough money to have to pay some taxes this year
I am not sure how this works, but I am hoping if sharky does his taxes this year that he will get some money back seeing as how he earns below poverty level and has a dependent.
I dunno how that stuff works though
:cry: Why must you hurt me soQuote:

And the rest goes into savings.
I probably won't get any tax returns this year. Also, we don't get them until summer.
How did you guys get your tax returns already? Mine always takes six weeks.
Ten days, baby. And I filed for California and residing in Idaho while working in Washington. Thanks, TurboTax!
If I had my way, I would buy a big smurfing bathtub.
But realistically, it will go towards a house down payment or toward diapers.
Did some stuff for the car, and made sure my bills were safe. The rest was used for a new 3DS XL and sound system for gaming gloriousness. But last year I had to pay. So instead of claiming zero, or just claiming myself, I claimed 3 and had them take an extra $10/paycheck just to make sure I got something nice back
Yeah I ain't had a return in about six years now ... I would complain but money.
I did my federal tax online about a month ago, got the refund via direct deposit two weeks ago.
However, getting a large refund is irresponsible. You'd be better off to change your withholding and invest it throughout the year! so I guess I'll buy a few shares of stock or something
