Tax Returns 2012

[coupes]

2769. No kids, and I'm single. Yeah I know it's interest free, but I use the government as a savings account.

Filed today.

A refund that's almost enough to buy two engineering text books or maybe a few cheese steaks depending on one's perspective.

Expecting around 2.5-3k. All going towards paying off the wife's 07' Accord. Should be paid off in March. I'm excited, since we haven't even owned it for 2 years!

Should be about 4k. Paying off some things and going to the dentist. Its been long overdue.

Well if you want to save money for bills and projects then open a high interest savings/cd/etc

just be weary of the penalties etc...

but it is nice to have some extra cash all of a sudden lol.

...if only there were still places that had high interest savings accounts. ING has fallen under 1% and most of the other places I've seen that have higher interest (co-ops and stuff) there are a lot of inconvenient terms to go along with it.

I was on disability for a couple of months in 2011, so I haven't a clue what I'll end up getting. I am going to put it towards a 2012 Tacoma though. Hopefully I'll have a new job by late spring/early summer and I'll have approximately 25% to put down.

damn and every year i meat people that are like "well I claimed such and such and I lie about such and such and Im getting back 9k" MAN WTF !!! >:[

[Gemini]

So yea, ill be paying the IRS serveral thousand of dollars this year

[apuforyou]

I'm only getting back a little over $1100 because I'm 22, single, with no kids, but I'll probably just pay off the remainder of my new Macbook pro then use the rest towards planning a small vacation

Yea that would be the Ideal way of doing it, but at the same times it nice at the beginning of the year to have a lump sum of cash to catch up on bills with. The reason im getting fucked is cuz i claimed waaay to much and had very little taxes taken out for the first 6months of the year b4 i caught it and changed it to the correct amount by claiming a 0, guess i should claimed a 00 to break even

i claimed 0 all the way so i will be getting money back, dunno how much yet

[Leung]

I haven't filed yet because i was waiting on my documents. I reckon i'll know for sure by next Sunday.

I think i'll pay down some bills and sit on the rest or buy brake components for the Accord.

[TracieS]

I only got 400 but anything is better than paying in.

[CyborgGT]

The past couple years I've either been very slightly under or very slightly over. As cool as it is to have a nice chunk of cash suddenly, I prefer to have my money during the year when I need it. So if I get any back this year, great, I'll get something for the CB. If not, or if I owe... better luck next year I suppose.

[Racer_XXX]

I'm lookin at around 5 grand. I'll probably get all the bills up to date and get me a truck.

For the people in college, you guys are getting an education credit of some sort right?
I was surprised by that last year and got an extra $1500 back which i ended up giving to my mom so she could pay off her car.
