Take that, you thieving bastards!

[JK]

Anyone else file their taxes for '06 yet?

(I'm probably the first person in America...:rolleyes: )

This year was not so bad. Since I bought a house, my return pretty much doubled... Awesome!

Now I can get those pectoral implants...
http://www.oafe.net/yo/art/rs_ren4.jpg

[Asteban]

It doubles when you buy a house? My parents should have a nice tax return then. And I actually worked a full year for once...just at two different jobs. So mine will pretty nice as well. It could be 5 bucks and I would be happy...I could buy so much raman with that!

[Razorback]

Wait... I am supposed to file EVERY YEAR?!

Shit.

[Threadkiller]

Wait... I am supposed to file EVERY YEAR?!

Shit.Dude, that's only if you had a job. Living in your parents' basement doesn't count as a "job" so you should be pretty safe. :) (ba-dum pshhhh)

The second my W2 comes I will be booking it to H&R Block to do it. I usually get around $600 or so. This year 3/4 is going to pay off a credit card and the rest is going on a DVD splurge. I haven't done one in a while.

[Razorback]

I do my own taxes.

By the way, what is zero divided by zero?

[FanGirl]

Four

[Razorback]

Four

I am so getting audited this year.

[FanGirl]

This is why I go to H&R Block.

[Omaru]

thank god I live in the UK where the mathematically challanged (like myself) are taxed all year around, no forms to complete or calculations to make.

Yay?


Got Married.
Started Paying State Tax (BOO)
ANd I have Business Expenses to Write Off

Will I be getting more back or less?

Also I thought if you made under like 40 Grand a year you got it all back?

[gummies]

Haven't received my W2's this year. I can say now though I'm definitely NOT going to HR Block... I went there last year and was shocked when they took $200 to do them.

Eff that I'll do them myself this year.

[Razorback]

Also I thought if you made under like 40 Grand a year you got it all back?

Hah.

Like, hah.

[FanGirl]

H&R charges me $95 dollars. Totally worth it. Did it one year on my own screwed something up and ended up getting audited and owing $600. Eff that.

[Asteban]

I am 18 years old, currently very, very drunk, and have my parents do my taxes.... oh god. What's going on right now.

[marksiwel]

Hah.

Like, hah.
*whines*
But the Republicans were in Power and in the White House for 8 years. I want most of it back.

Let me quote someone else...


Hah.

Like, hah.


2005 was the first year I made over forty grand in wages and let me tell ya brother, if I was supposed to get back all the taxes I paid before that, the Feds owe me a SHITload of money. If I had any real desire to depress the crap out of myself, I'd dig into my files and tell you just how much I've paid in income taxes since 1988...

[Droogan_Leader]

Not to intentionally start a firestorm of debate, I just wanted to insert a question for youze. When Alan Keyes was running for president against W the first of his terms, I remember I was still at college and he came there to talk. I was really impressed then by his platform to get rid of the income tax. He said it was unconstitutional, and I thought to myself, "This man is my hero." I would have voted for him then if he had had a chance against W. I think he would've been an awesome president, but ah well, that's neither here nor there.

So, the question is, what do you think our country would be like with no income taxes? I think the man was and still is ahead of his time, but I'll outright admit I'm no economist. In fact, Econ. was the only class I had to drop out of. Let me just say the idea appealed to me.

[ozchick]

I know I say it every year at this time, but you guys need to quit your bitching about your income taxes seeing as you have some of the lowest rates in the civilised world. :P

I know that when I worked in Iceland I paid more than half my salary into the tax system. That was pretty ridiculous.

[whatthefuckistheinternet]

We could all chip in together and buy sealand and make our own tax laws, I'll chip in £12.50.

...So, the question is, what do you think our country would be like with no income taxes? ...

Like I said this time last year...

Just say "No!" to the IRS (http://fairtax.org)

You can complain here and I won't say anything. I like complaining about taxes.

You are right about it being low[er] though. As a person here on a temp. work visa, they're still taking 40% of my salary in Slovakia. I think that's unpardonable.

When I left Iceland, because I had not worked a full year and my registered address was in the US, they gave me back about $2,000 in tax money.

[Droogan_Leader]

I hope that happens to me too, brother. I'm starting grad school right when I get back--no time to build up any kind of nest egg. I'm just counting my lucky stars I'm in-state, 'cause the bill is gonna be steep.

I'm assuming you got the check from Iceland, not the American gov't, right?

[Razorback]

I had to file some paperwork before I left the country and received the money through my bank account in Iceland. I was employed by an Icelandic company so I did not pay any taxes to the US.

You will have to check with the laws over there of course. I can't guarantee that you will receive any of that money back.

[JK]

Jen decided we're finishing out the basement as a home theater with my tax return money.


I love her... :D

I does cost money the first year, but I think you can write off that money the next year (or so they tell me).

Personally I use the H&R block over the internets, I figure if I ever get audited that they will help me, so it's like insurance.

[jjcourtright]

I've used Turbo Tax every year since we've been married, and it works like a champ. Way cheaper than H&R Block, plus I trust me more than the people that H&R Block trains for a week than has them do your taxes.

Two years ago we got back every penny that we paid. That's what happens when you own a house, both go to school, and have two kids, both of them in daycare. With number three on the way, I assume that they'll be paying me to be an American!

So I've got my wifes college stuff. My stuff. My 401k, my withholding, and I just got married would you recommand this Turbo Tax? how much is it?

[jjcourtright]

I think $40, and if you wait a month or so, retailers start trying to out-do each other by giving stuff away with a purchase of TurboTax. I got a 512MB flash drive with my copy last year.

TurboTax is super easy to use and seemingly very thorough (is that spelled right?). I highly recommend it.

[Razorback]

I am pretty sure you can get put in jail for trying that.

Free meals, housing, workout room and education?

Bring it on!

[BAMSS04]

Plus all the anal sex you can stand...and then some.

Oh course, you would have to be the taker and not the giver but that is just semantics.

Do you have to have to be connected to the internet in order to use it?

[Droogan_Leader]

Yeah. You have to be online to file when you finish. I think you have to be online for other parts as well, but for the final part, I'm sure. It's not too hard though--you get a login just like with here. You login, do your thing, print it out. I'm right, aren't I folks?
I did it once. It was relatively easy. I suck balls at taxes. I mean big bulgy yarbles. I HATE THE TAX CODE

Do you even have to worry about that right now? Being in....Not-America right now?

[jjcourtright]

Do you have to have to be connected to the internet in order to use it?
You only have to be on to check for updates or to down load the state software if you don't buy it at the store (it usually is free after rebate). I guess they make TurboTax early enough in the prior year that there may be tax code changes. After that you don't have to be connected unless you want to submit electronically - you can print it out and mail it in if you're not in a hurry to get yo' money.

I've done it every year with dial-up, so it isn't too bandwith-heavy.

[JK]

This is the first year I've used Turbo Tax. I've been spending my tax return all morning (see the last album bought thread) I really like the software- easy to use, walks you through every thing. I'd recommend it.

[FanGirl]

I decided to follow your lead and I did Turbo Tax this year instead of H&R Block. Saved about $40 doing it that way.

Getting about $800 back this year. Half to pay a credit card off and half for COMICON! w00t. Only 6 more months to go! w00t.

Not bad... now invest that other half so you have more to spend at ComicCon!

[By-tor]

I know a bookie you can borrow. :D

*smack By-Tor with a fish*

[marksiwel]

Just ordered it, so here is hoping. I am using my Tax Return to go to Dallas in March, also I am taking Vaction days with that. So double yay.

[TLS]

I ended up paying someone $65 to do my taxes for me. Alot easier than: buying a program, installing it, getting dial up connection and then figuring out how to enter in and file all the crap. Hmm, only took an hour of my time, and I learned what info I need to start and keep track of our new business. Getting a little over $2,000 back. Well, I am suppose to split it with my husband and I guess we both decided that it would be best if we put it towards our credit card. Crap, and I really thought I could win him over on a trip to Ireland. Now I have to work on a plan B. (I'm not giving up on seeing the Tastys, I have a few more ideas.)

[phit_demon]

Dude, I know I'm not exactly with it these days, I don't know when you're playing. Is it on your myspace? I added the band there. Is it official yet?

[TLS]

You are a bastard! Don't encourage women to nag.
Don't worry, despite his suggestion, I'm not much of a nagger. I'm more likely to screw him till he says yes and then maybe nag the credit card company. Anyway I have a plan B, hopefully it'll work out and I can get both my card paid off and a nice vacation to Ireland.

Oh, and they are playing end of May and begining of June. I'm sure double A will let you know too.

[By-tor]

Yeah, Droog, what she said. Sounds like you need to make the trip, too. A little present to yourself for all the BS you've gone through lately. ;)

No no no no no no no no no no no NO! All refund cheques are to be used to buy plane tix to me for my awesomest birthday party ever in a few months! Stop using it for grown up things like paying off credit cards! Credit is goooooood baby!

I got close to 4000 Back this year. I rock your socks!
Also my wifes loans and stuff helped too.

Gonna buy a monkey

[Zens7s]

I owe. I owe more than I ever thought possible. Up until this year I owned my own business still that allowed me to deduct my house, my car, and basically everything I did or had. This year...ZERO deductions.

They bent me over, fucked me in the back of a VW, and didn't even give me the courtesy of a reach around.

[ratm1966]

I filed mine already and was going to get about $1,500 back. Then I realized that my dependent section wasn't changed from last years taxes where I claimed my daughter. Per the divorce decree, it was my ex's turn to claim her, even though she lived with me. I corrected the error and now owe $1,352. Yup, the back seat of that VW is really starting to sound good right about now.

[marksiwel]

I made out like a bastard. Thank you Turbo Tax.
Really I think I have been filing wrong, maybe it because my Parents cant claim me as a dependent anymore....hmmmmm

Really if you think about it, we have to over pay the Goverment, and then fight tooth and nail to get it back, and in the process some of us find out we have to PAY THEM because the govermenrt cant even Tax their own Citzens correctly.

Thats jacked up. its like showing up for the lottery and going to jail

[jjcourtright]

Glad I could help you get a couple of G's by suggesting TurboTax.
