[Anubis]

your a bit behind

 

[DaTT]

Behind what?

 

[AFurryReptile]

I got exactly $11 back this this year. I went all-out... bought myself the BIGGIE size at Wendy's...

I haven't done mine either, if that's what you have in mind. :\

And yes, I just don't want to file them, and thus I am procrastinating. It will feel glorious to get it out of the way, but I probably won't do it until the first or second week of April.

I hate digging up all the info on my stock sales and purchases.

If that's what is meant by being behind, we can contribute to our RRSP's until March, so i was waiting for that information from the bank before I could do my taxes...which aren't due until the end of April anyways.

I got mine done earlier last week. My refund is $1100.

:awe:

[Fenixgoon]

this means you gave the man a $2100 interest free loan. congratulations.

 

[Kroze]

werd. LOL. OP need to get with the program, we all got our taxes done in January.

 

[lolbron]

how do you keep your refund low?

 

[DaWhim]

I am getting about $1000 back. I dont get all my tax doc until now.

Oh no, OP!! Fenixgoon is right! If you had just put the extra money into a savings account instead, you would have earned... Wow, about TEN dollars in interest over the course of the year! You're such an idiot for making an interest free loan to the government.

True, but $2100 would've been accessible to him all year.

 

[DrPizza]

True, but $2100 would've been accessible to him all year.

A) Assuming he would have needed that cash B) He overpaid the entire 2100 last January. Otherwise, he averaged about half of that amount available to him.

Your point is invalid. Money is money.

Why would you choose to belittle someone for making a valid point about the nature of income tax returns, anyway? It costs nothing to check the correct boxes. People, most of whom do not get it, should know that any tax refund amounts to a negative time value of money situation. Why shoot the messenger?

Aren't you supposed to set some sort of example here?

I understand that, but he still shorted his take home pay for no reason. Instead of being excited about a refund taxpayers should try and figure out how not to let it happen again.

Sorry. Getting that large of a refund is just bad financial planning. It's like you gave a total stranger an interest-free loan for a year.

 

[drebo]

The wife and I owe $3500 this year. Sucks.

 

[vshah]

i owed $7, was pretty pleased

 

[Anubis]

i gave the man the same amount as the OP

my dad gave them almost 40k

none of us care

 

[SMOGZINN]

The IRS is not a saving account, fix your W-4.

40k is as massive rebate!!

 

[RGUN]

Real men don't take government handouts - regardless of whose money it is.

i know i like posting about it and watching all the homers go crazy
