So what are you going to do with your tax return?

I'm gonna laugh at the people that gave the government an interest free loan. I owe this year.

I know!

They're really reasonably priced, too. Around $200 USD, I think.

I only work summers so I probably wont have get that much. But it will probably go towards a keyboard, recording equipment or one of those Godin Multiac nylon strung guitars (or any other good acoustic-electric classical guitar).

I added a bunch of other car stuff to my list. I also bought myself a BOSS ODB-3 Bass Overdrive pedal (something I've wanted for almost 15 years but never got around to buying).

I wish we could hit the sweet spot - don't need to pay any more money, don't have any refund coming.

But it's not gonna happen.

If I have a choice? I want to end up owing them a bit of money. Any time you get a refund, it means the gummint has had the use of your money all year without paying interest. That's a bad deal.

There' s a worse deal: finding you owe the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). We actually brought in a bit more this year, and I was worried that we'd finally hit the line.

The automated thing on the IRS site said we didn't owe it. But I did the manual worksheet and if I were owing we'd be talking an additional 26% of adjusted gross over and above what I paid this year.

Well my wife and i had been going back and forth about whether we should get a new couch or a new tv. We had finally decided on a tv and we got up this morning to go and look at a couple 32" LCD's at Walmart. After looking at the connections and comparing pictures on three or four 32" tv's and a 37 incher my wife called to me and said "check this one out". She was standing infront of a beautiful 42" Vizio LCD and wouldn't you know it, that tv came home with us. Wasn't planning on buying andything bass related with this return. wow this tv is great.

I wish I didn't have to pay out $428.00

My job that I worked at for 6 months in 2007 hasn't sent my sheet yet... and it was due yesterday.

I WANT MONEY!

New carpet before I sell my house....

 

[tink9975]

tax return and the "bribe" (or refund, or advance, or stop-gap, or band-aid on a cut jugular, or whatever you want to call it) are all going to the home loan.

however our end of the year bonuses went towards a new washer and dryer, and a new tv.

 

[TheNorm]

Already bought my very first bass with it, paid off some bills and am getting a PS3.

My goal is always to have no tax return money back, maybe even owe a little.

I don't give the government a year-long interest-free loan. My accountant laughs about how good I am at getting it close to zero every year.

Me too only I do my own. I want to spend that money not have the government "play" with it & pay me no interest.

Also it would be a 2007 Tax refund.

$559 Federal and $128 state keeping me afloat through a semester of college without working.
