Life You know why I'm grinning?

**Rain Man** · 12-29-2011, 12:44 PM

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.

**Rain Man** · 12-29-2011, 12:48 PM

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.

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

For some reason this stuff always interests me.

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.

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.....

**Iowanian** · 12-29-2011, 01:32 PM

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

**Buehler445** · 12-29-2011, 01:39 PM

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).

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

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

Score!

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