You know why I'm grinning?
 

Because it looks like I'm going to get a big income tax refund, that's why.


Disclaimer that I recognize that I'm "loaning them money at zero interest", but as a business owner my tax amounts are so highly variable that I can't predict with any precision what I'll owe, so sometimes I owe a lot and sometimes I get a lot back, and I like getting a lot back better.

We should be getting a really good amount back as well. It's coming at an awesome time to because we're buying a house and we'll be putting that money towards fixing some things.

Ooh, tell me about the house. I really should've been a Realtor, because I like seeing houses. My wife has to convince me to not go into Realtors' open houses when we're on walks.

That's cool.

I have a decent size refund coming up, along with school money I'm planning on getting some well needed repairs done in our home. Hopefully we will have a working fireplace by this next winter. :thumb:

What do you want to know?

4 bedrooms/2 bathrooms
1800 sq. feet
Built in 1999

Rain Man is the 1%

I'm pretty happy too on account of the fact that I'm not in jail. So far, anyhow.

Plus, I have a brand new package of White Cheddar Rice Cakes and some fresh squeezed Apple Juice.

Mr FAX you have a talent for outlining the truly important things in life. ;)

I'm grinning because I'm having a colonoscopy tomorrow and I'm thinking of 'prep time' tonight.

Oh, wait.....:spock:

I'm likely going to get my face ripped off at tax time.

Did you make estimates or something?

I hope so, because not paying tax typically equates to not making money. Unless you bought a new slave (DaFace) and Secion 179'ed him. That'd make sense.

I'm going to owe a bunch (for me at least). :huh:

But I've got some money saved up to pay them.

What architectural style? Open or closed floor plan? Brick or stick? What's the yard like?

For some reason this stuff always interests me.

I decided not to pay taxes this year, just to see how long it takes the IRS to catch on to me.

Not estimates, but we withhold and we overwithheld in the last quarter. Plus it turns out that we can depreciate DaFace.

That seems like a good idea.

Score!

My DaFace is on backorder until next year so I can't 179 him.

I'm grinning because I live in Spain and I don't pay ANY federal (or state) income tax on my salary.

Oh yeah, I have a military retirement pension and I do pay taxes on that...until I file for the year and I get all the taxes back in my return, because my taxable income is so low.

3,7 years. Guaranteed.

Holy schnikes. About 75% of my clients always tell me they forgot to hold back (or pay estimates) throughout the year. I never feel bad because I tell each and every one of them to make sure they've got it covered about 10 times throughout the year. :facepalm:

I will be stroking another Big Check this year.... Enjoy my money

Really it depends on your situation...

It you have tax documents (W-2's, 1099's, 1098's, etc.) then it will take the IRS less than a year to send you a friendly letter.

If you don't have these documents, you may never hear from them until you file again.

I don't believe that you are grinning. I think this is a trick.

I sold 85 acres of farmland this spring so I know I'm gonna get bent over the tree trunk and told to squealllllllllllll

But you are part of the 1% it's your duty LMAO

Actually I'm not. I've been on my 2nd million for a long time now since I gave up on the 1st one.

I'm hoping/counting on a decent return. I've never paid this much in withholdings before. It's a little ridiculous (to a recent college grad.) If the government really does keep all of this money, there is something seriously wrong with the system.

Well, to be perfectly honest with you guys, I'm not as happy now as I was before.

The White Cheddar Rice Cakes were great, but I got White Cheddar Rice Cakes dust fragments in my keyboard, so I used a can of compressed air to blow those fragments away and "BAM!!" ... White Cheddar Rice Cakes dust went friggin' everywhere, man ... and, I got some in my eye. I can now say without fear of emendation that White Cheddar Rice Cake dust in your eyeball hurts like a White Cheddar Rice Cake Bitch ... it's scratchy, too.

I always liked those...

3 years would be my bet for sure.

Maybe a mod could sticky this and turn it into a prayer thread?

Yeah ... it seems like only yesterday when I liked them, too. Or ... really, it seems like just earlier today.

Great for Munchies

You should get one of those immediate tax refund loans so you can have an even bigger smile, right away.

Yup and pay 30% interest :thumb:
