I always get a refund. Hopefully it'll be past $2000 this time around. I need more clothes for my dolls!

I'm not sure yet whether I'm getting a refund or not. We bought a truck this year and I had my tax holdings reduced a lot to help absord the car payment cost.

The "stimulis" checks are rebates and therefor are not taxable income :D

I don't know if I should be happy that I will not be getting one :?




I always get a LOT back every year because of how the tax tables work when you get bonuses. :wink:

2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Looks like I'm going to owe $800 less than I did last year. I don't want to say how much, but paying less each year is always better than more. :D Filed with our accountant on Thursday, so crossing our fingers that everything was correct :wink:

I usually estimate my taxable income each year so that I'll end up with both federal and state refunds. :)

Hah, we're getting a pretty big tax refund this year :D .

And as soon as it comes in we've already decided what we are paying off, so no play monies :l

I haven't completed them yet, but I'm guessing that it will be the same as last year--the feds give me everything back, and the state takes about half of that away. :roll:

Got a refund, pre-stimulus plan. Wasn't huge. It really feels like the government punishes people who work because our refund would have been nearly three times as much if we were not a two income household. :x Very annoying.

Just got back from doing taxes. Not bad this year, about $300 better than last year, I think.
But this year my taxable income was under 20k. X|

When do those extra rebate checks start coming out?
