Re: Tax Returns!
 

I claimed 1 last year and I had to pay ftl, so this year I calaimed 0 and I am hopeing to about 1 grand to go towards wheels. I made alot more this year than last year, so it was smarter to claim 0. I would rather claim 0 and save an extra 5 dollars, that way I get alot more back and save some...cut back on eating out and your good to go...

Re: Tax Returns!
 

I am excited as this is the first year my parents are not claiming me. Yes, I am well aware... So, I should get a nice tax return this year. In the past, due to thier income, I have always allowed them to claim me. Figured it was the least I could do for them, since they have supported me for 15-20 years.

As for the extra money, savings. I already have a nice 401k setup, but I wanna have a nice account on the side as well. I just bought a new car, so thats covered. I am excited for tax time this year!

What did you end up buying?

Re: Tax Returns!
 

Nothing too wild. 07 Mazda3 SP23. I was gonna go for the MS3 but I just didnt want all the addtional costs. Higher sitcker price, higher insurance, premium gas...blah blah. The car is nice though, the bigger engine, 5 spd, mp3 port, etc. Plus, I was able to get special s-plan pricing, just over invoice.

Just go to irs.gov and look at either the Pub 17 or the 1040 instructions should also have the table. Visit MN Rev site for MN taxes.

Re: Tax Returns!
 

Damn I'm getting back a lot more than I planned, ~$1900. Guess I didn't plan real well this year, but I think a lot of it had to do with graduating college and starting a career.

Ring Ring.....hello, Comptech? Hi, my name is Chris...

Re: Tax Returns!
 

Oh Peter and I were just discussing such things!

Re: Tax Returns!
 

Sweet, I probably won't get as back as much as I hoped, school doesn't seem to help all that much. Or at least it didn't last year.

Re: Tax Returns!
 

I still haven't gotten my W2.

Re: Tax Returns!
 

If they are mailing it you should have it by Friday, or Weds if hand-delivered.

Re: Tax Returns!
 

THey told us they would be mailed the week of the 22nd. Ya, that probably translates to 5pm on Friday evening they dropped them in the mail box, the bastards.

Re: Tax Returns!
 

They have until Jan 31, and most companies wait until then so they can get as many changes in as needed, to avoid sending any W2 revisions. I'm still waiting on mine... and a few other places so it's not like I'm in a big hurry.

I just hope I get money back, and that I don't have to pay in.

Re: Tax Returns!
 

I'm glad all 3 of my W-2's and other tax forms came early this year. I also like how fast e-filing and direct deposit get the money into the bank account. I think last year I had my money in 3 days.

Re: Tax Returns!
 

I hope I get some back, but I'm scared about filing now that i've taken out my first loans for school. Hmm.

If I get a bunch, I might get either a fmic or a set of rear tires. I want a fmic for the new setup, but i need tires that will put up with some spinning. baldies ftl.

Nice - lucky you!!! :banana:

Re: Tax Returns!
 

Took care of my taxes a couple days ago. $2400, and I'm not sure if I should be car shopping, parts shopping, or banking for tuition. Thinking I might just keep it in the bank for when a really nice car comes along, since I'm really not in a huge hurry to replace any of my cars. Although I'm keeping an eye out for a nicer Colt and nicer VR4.
