$500 stimulus for individuals and $1000 for couples.
This year is going to be good for my taxes having a kid, and getting a stimulus should be nice.
I like the business tax break of $3000 for companies per employee hired in the next 2 years.

Our tax return this year will be funding the honeymoon.

Yeehaw, I'm sure we'll find something to spend it on. Maybe some house projects.

New car. Between taxes, final settlement from the Marines, and my TSP account, I should have 3500 to blow. WOOO

If you think Obama has anything to do with your 2008 taxes you need to get a clue Tom.

I lol'd.

Property taxes... I forgot about those. They are rolled up into my mortgage payment. This just keeps sounding better and better.

You will get a decent chunk back from your interest. I was getting 4K a year the past 3 years from the feds. In the many years before my house it was only 1300-1500.

Look at the quote. my comment was quoting the small business part, where he will be allowing the write off of $250,000 in equipment for small businesses instead of the $125k. (great for small businesses looking to purchase more to help the economy)
And giving $3000 tax break for each new employee hired in the next 2 years. (excellent to make businesses hire and bring down the unemployment rate)

A small buisness owner talking about his 2008 tax filings.

Obama hasn't put his plans in place yet he's only talked about them. Some of his ideas are good, but how much will it cost to hire the new employees to get a 3K write-off.

Sounds like you guys need to do another tax return sale...

Tax returns this year for me are all about fun. Should be wrapping up most of the GSX. Then I think my dad and I are going to Galapagos or something after I finish up school in May.

dumb_ricer · 01-13-2009

I can't complain with my tax return! $22xx will go a long ways towards getting me out of debt!

mike55112 · 01-13-2009

I hope I get a decent refund this year, Ive been on unemployment since november so I dont know how that affects my refund.

blageo23 · 01-13-2009

I hope to be getting a big one! Finally get to be an independent!
Im going to try and pay bill or keep it in savings. But most of it will be going into the Spyder.

polishmafia · 01-13-2009

This will be my first year that I can claim mortgage interest. I don't know what to expect.
