Plans for you Tax Refund?
 

Yes I know I am dumb for letting the goverment use my money, blah blah blah. Moving on, those who are getting tax returns, what plans do you have for yours? I am gonna sit on mine (put it in the bank), money has been really tight and it would be nice to have an extra cushion in the bank. Plus Im sure I will end up having a catastrophe that will deplete it anyways. Anyone having any big plans for theirs?

First I need to find out if I'm actually getting one.

I'm gonna get a penis reduction surgery with my return. My lower back is fucked and I'm only 23.

I won't get one. Haven't had one in four years...it sucks!

I'm gonna put all mine towards getting this white basketball league goin.

Pay off my vehicle, oh yea finish paying off my court fines :D

I always get a refund. I always shove it in the bank.

Yeah, it's dumb to let Uncle Sam hold your money. But that $20 a week that's missing from my paycheck goes unnoticed by me. If I had it, I'd just blow it. Since I don't have it, when I get that $1000 check every February it's like a windfall.

i'm sure mrs sec has it already spent.
gosh, i love that woman.
sec

Well at least I don't have that problem :D

Refund :spock: its been a while .

Put it towards my credit card.

My girlfriend works at a tax preparation place and she had a guy get > $10,000 back which is more than he had paid in due to qualifying for EIC.

He spent $600 extra to get the rapid refund (next day) then went to a check casher and spent 3% to get the check cashed.(didn't even have a ****ing checking account!)

Basically blew $1000 getting his taxes back and cashing the check because he couldn't wait a week.

Awesome use of my tax money. EIC pisses me off.

This will be the first significant refund I'll get in the last 6 years. I normally adjust my withholding in the Fall to eliminate my refund with a higher paycheck during the winter. This time though I'm going to qualify for the $8,000 home buyer handout, and there's no way to get that early by withholding or without paying way too much money to amend a 2008 return.

I think I'll pay off my car loan and throw the rest into stuff I still need for the house.

I wish I was close enough to do that, Im pretty far away from that unfortunately. Kudos to you though, that's pretty cool.

Sounds like my brother, although no where near that amount, but he acts like an extra week is going to kill him. I want every penny back I can get, it's my money in the first place.

Already invested mine on a bigger diamond for the wife.

Writing the govt a check on or before April 15th....

What is a tax refund?

* Pay off a small amount of CC debt we accumulated in the past year
* Buy a water softening system for our house
* Give some to a charity through our church
* Save the rest, if any is left

EIC?

It blows my mind that people fall for that stuff.

Yea only owe about $2,000, be glad to have it paid off.

I filed my taxes last Friday and should be getting my return back next week. I haven't even touched last years return and I'll probably just save this one too.

You're dumb for letting the government use your money !

What is this "tax refund" of which you speak???

I should get close to 9 grand back because of going into a lower tax bracket, and having a kid so that will be nice to pay off my last credit card.

The Haitians appreciate your support!

Earned Income Credit.

2 Chicks at the Same Time.

I bought my TV last yr. with it. Not sure about this yr. Probably just bank it.

I had 2 mortgages last year along with taking a capital loss of $3000 along with buying 2 new cars so I should get a hefty refund...

The only way I get a refund is by having my employer hold out extra every pay day,but I usually take the wife and kids somewhere for a few days with it.

Credit, or potentially a new (used) car.

Refund?
I'm self employed, what is this "refund" you speak of?

I'm going to buy a bunch of "To the Ship!" T-shirts that feature Romeo and Charlie going to Long John Silvers.

Then I'm going to sell them.

With my negative refund I plan on buying some shit for some welfare mommies and maybe providing bad health care to the unwashed masses.

Thanks man! :thumb:

Dental work
Bills
Trip to KC

Doubt I will have enough to do anything with, and I may pay in. With the economy, I didnt expect to make over 30,000, so I set up my w-2 to lower withholding expecting earned income credit. I ended up at just over 41,000. 7000 of which was unemployment with no withholding. I hope to break even with Uncle Sam.

Its going in my rainy day fund. I plan on moving in the summer and although I am not anticipating any technical difficulties, I am not ruling them out. Getting a job as a waiter is never the most stable economic route.

I better get one this year. I bought a house, isn't that a big deduction.. the interest and PMI insurance?

if there is enough we were thinking of either installing new windows in the house or redoing the kitchen... the kitchen needs it bad.. but so do the windows...

plans
uying a house
getting a real mechanic to fic my bike
(i just been limping it alnog)
a new 'puter
reality
maybe haircut and some new jeans

Talk to a good friend of mine that works in a Sales and Rental place and he informed me that they had a HUGE spurt in sales on the 20th through the 24th of December of people that went to H&R Block and got an advance on thier "Projected" tax refund.

I don't know how much interest is on it or what percentage they actually get but I bet people that do this kind of shit get F***ed when they actually get their return done?

Me.. I have sunk more than $3K into my house getting it ready for sale so along with that and my taxes and interest paid on my house should get me a nice return.

What?

File taxes?

I read on the internet that we didn't have to do that anymore. But that was in 1998.

Maybe I misunderstood.......

pay off credit cards.

I'm going to be getting $2,700 back for the sales tax on a cash for clunkers car that I bought.

I bought a house this year and haven't owned one since 2002 which qualifies me as a first time buyer. $8k plus my normal $2k or so, woooohooooo!

Use my money to buy my way into the broncos coaching staff, then **** up the team from the inside.




Oh wait, josh mcdaniels is already doing that. Time to formulate a plan b.

Ah, you must have read the "Wesley Snipes Guide to Managing Wealth".

Just like the last few years I'll put ten bucks with it and buy a bottle of Elijah Craig.

If you are getting a tax refund then you are doing it wrong. You want to be as close to zero as possible.

My dad always told me, "Why should I let the gov. hold my money, if I can hold it myself?"

Going to pay off the cards, hopefully will have some left over to use on a much needed vacation.

This

I generally owe the State, and the Fed a little money.

How's life with the bisexual roommate and her new live-in boyfriend?

Refund???

Luckily it hasn't been THAT bad of a year! :D

DT

You're not Barack Obama's son, I bet.

We're getting 1.5k extra for upgrading our HVAC for energy efficiency. We'll probably hang onto it. Don't really need anything new anyway. If anything, we'll put it back into the house.

Plans?

Hookers and blow.

My wife will probably squash that though.

If I was smart(which I'm not), I would put it in the bank or in my Roth IRA. That being said, I'll probably spend it on one of the following:

new or used rifle/shotgun
new rifle scope
new PS3
new tires

I really wish you hadn't said new tires :(

Smart wife you have there Cody. My soon to be wifey insists that it go to house taxes and paying down the credit cards. Wise decision.:sulk: :D

Actually I would argue you want to owe as much as possible without actually paying penalties. My taxes will be brutal this year, which I guess is both a good and a bad thing....

My refund should be enough to pay for the gas to go pick up the check.

I would have to check with the wife. Frankly, I don't even want to know.

gonna pay my mortgage for another month. WOOHOO

Hopefully buy a TV, pay off a credit card and a new washer/dryer *new to me*.

The girfriend is hoping to buy the PS3 for the new TV with her's.

ROFL Yeah I have given up the battle of the tax return with her. She insist the money go towards something for the house. Furniture, carpet, hardwood floors, etc.

not much...will only see about $300. Adjusted witholding last year to avoid a big return.

Need to figure out how the baby will affect that next year.

Second year in a row we did better filing Seperately, which is weird.
