Just filed my taxes. This is how my wife and I looked when we found out how much our Federal return was going to be.

Fun fact: The disco dancing gentleman, Åke Blomqvist, lives in my neighbourhood. The guy's still around and I bump into him occasionally at the local grocery store. I've seen him buy gingerbread cookies at inappropriate times of year.

Dividends the recipient received on any share of stock held for less than 61 days during the 121-day period that began 60 days before the ex-dividend date.

Just draw me a picture, because those words hurt my head.

richred · 7 months

When I did my taxes I couldn't wait to get the extra cash back then I said to myself... Why am I letting the government hold my money, make interest on it, when I might as well just only pay the absolute minimum and just enjoy the money and make the interest on it myself! And best part is I'm getting married at the end of the year and when I do my taxes in '13 I get to declare her as a dependent (shes still in uni) for the entire year! Booyah

All getting a tax refund means is that you did a lousy job of filling out your W-4 and/or paying quarterly-estimated bills.

EDIT: Here, use this so the same thing doesn't happen this year.

return is what you send to the IRS. refund is the money you get back.

veoeluz · 7 months

Ours is goning to suck (or at least not be what we were hoping). We both got better jobs this year, about a third of the way through, so our old jobs were taxed at a lower rate, and we ended up in a higher bracket.

That and they only allow a deduction of $2500 on student loan interest. We wouldn't have a liability at all if they'd've let us take the full 9,500$ in interest as a deduction.

A lot of people are saying that you and your wife were taken advantage of because you essentially gave the government an interest free loan.

While I agree that you two gave the government an interest free loan I just don't see a problem with this. If you're not living paycheck to paycheck then loaning a little extra money to the government is the absolute safest loan you can make. You don't need the money right now, lots of people could benefit from your little bit (combined with everyone else's), and you are absolutely going to get the money back.

My wife and I, throughout 2011, paid a total of around $90,000 in taxes. Our final tax bill is around $75,000. (child and mortgage interest deductions are glorious). We know how much we're overpaying and we budget for it. We know that in March of every year we're going to receive $15,000 and it is factored into our annual budget.

Taxes are the cost of a civilized society: roads, police, fire, 911, schools, etc.... I'm proud to do my duty.

I still don't understand how tax software is in stores, and people are already filing taxes, when half the 2011 forms on the IRS website itself still say "2011 DRAFT" watermarked across the whole page like they haven't finished making the forms for this year yet.
