Comedy.

Do people really get excited about tax refunds? You're celebrating your no interest loan to the government.

[–]Kowzorz 2 points3 points ago

It's the lump summedness of it.

On a related note, I need to find a bank near me. I've had my tax return for like 2 months and still haven't deposited it.

[–]irving_zissmann 0 points1 point ago

Aaaand GONE!

[–]aalen56 2 points3 points ago

A lot of refunds are made up of refundable credits, too. Not just withholdings.

But I agree with your larger point.

[–]BeerInHeadlights 1 point2 points ago

I agree wholeheartedly. The feeling I get is that many people love this because they can't budget with discipline. Having an extra $100 a month in their paycheck goes in one hand and out the other. On the other hand, if they give that $100 to the government every month, and then get a check for $1,200 at the end of the year, they have finally managed to save a chunk of money or at least put it aside temporarily to buy a big ticket item. Just my opinion.

Like that 1% interest on a couple grand really makes a difference.

[–]OCELLARIS_CLOWNING 2 points3 points ago

Thats a few $5 footlongs for yourself if you are so inclined. Or a cheap hooker. Or a nice soccerball. Or a decent pair of shoes. Or a few t shirts. Or one stupid Tapout one. Or several large bottles of lube. Or an okay bottle of wine. Or a few AKs in Africa. I'd say that makes a difference.

You're new to money, aren't you?

[–]Wallwillis 2 points3 points ago

I'm trying to figure out how it took till June for you to get your tax refund.

[–]omg_pwnies 1 point2 points ago

He probably filed for an extension.

TL;DP: too lazy, didn't paperwork.

[–]Ikbentim[S] 1 point2 points ago

We normally get them in May/June where i'm from (netherlands)

[–]Wallwillis 0 points1 point ago

Oh ok, my bad. I should have more downvotes for assuming everyone lives in the states :P

[–]gosslot 0 points1 point ago

I got mine today, too...

[–]mosqua 0 points1 point ago

I rec'd a letter stating I needed to prove my SS# from the state (well DC) aaaaand I was missing paper work so the federal sent mine back :/ At least hearing that people that didn't fuck up/get fucked are just getting theirs means it's a few more weeks for me. UGH

[–]Randamba 0 points1 point ago

I filed three years at once. I got one within a couple weeks and just received the other two.

[–]wedgeex 2 points3 points ago

Heh... I remember back when I got tax returns.

[–]gigantepicante 0 points1 point ago

I should report you to the IRS

[–]wedgeex 0 points1 point ago

I wish not reporting was the reason I didn't get tax returns sometimes.

[–]carsonfayleg 2 points3 points ago

Better than a negative refund...

[–]Cheesejaguar 0 points1 point ago

I owed $1500. Feels bad man.

[–]KillerOs13 0 points1 point ago

I had a guy at work say to me that he felt his tax return was always exactly as large as his impending car repairs.

[–]crash331 0 points1 point ago

Tell him to lower his withholding, put it in a bank and then he will have car repair money plus 1.2 percent or whatever abysmal rate you get these days.

[–]blowerball 0 points1 point ago

this. i went and picked up my tax return from my parents cus i still get gov't mail there, and backing down their driveway went too close to the rock wall and smashed my sideview mirror. Easy come, easy go.

[–]offensivegrandma 0 points1 point ago

I know that feeling. I moved about two days after I got mine. The rent and deposited were already paid for, but I had to get a new complete bed due to my dog having fleas, replace some dishes and get a new toaster. Who knew toasters could be so fucking expensive! I just want a fucking toasted bagel!

[–]LusciousDanielle 0 points1 point ago

OOOOOOOOO!!!! I forgot about my tax refund!

[–]TheMostIntrestingAzn 0 points1 point ago

Damn government taking my money to provide me with basic services...
