Figured out my taxes
| Tue, 01-31-2006 - 9:53am |
Well, i finally got all i needed to figure out our taxes, and well, i thought we were going to get back $1000 or so federal, but it turns out we owe. $59, not bad, but sheesh. Anyhow, we always get a refund, but this year, we made about $15000 more than last year. We will still get a $860 state refund, but good thing I didn't actually make our Disney reservations. Oh well, next year is another year. the good thing is that we're making money, right???

The positive to this is to know you are filing your taxes correctly throughout the year. Maybe you want to change what you claim if you like receiving the refund.
I personally don't care for the refund - but would much rather have my money when I am paid. I don't like to lend the govt free money that they return to me with no interest.
I'd rather have the money sitting at 0.01% interest, because that's 0.01% I make more than from the govt.
I also have no computer at home, plus have itemized filings so I pay for help. So now I have to pay someone to help me retrieve my money. Govt is smart to get money at no interest this way.
