    Default What are you buying (if anything) with your tax return?

    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'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.

    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.

    I'm irked. I worked at two different places so when I did my first W2 I was going to get a lot! Then I entered the second and it went down to very little. I was bumped up a tax bracket but I'm not claiming anything but myself so i'm getting screwed on taxes. 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. 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!

    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.

    ? I have student loans and I'm getting money back. Are you not getting back because you haven't been paying your loans?

    Also you have to file if you made over a certain amount unless you want to get the IRS on your tail.

    Anything extra goes towards the wedding atm. I'm not in need of anything else, really.
