My tax return is going into new eyeglasses and a bed. Where's yours going?

[Deja Q]

:D

[taught_me_patience]

1. Just spent it today at the Dentist

had to buy a mouthguard for grinding in my sleep.

:mad:

[sbj405]

2. Mine went back into my house

New plumbing, bath, kitchen. Ok, so the tax return only covered a portion of that.

[no name no slogan]

3. What tax return?

I owe Uncle Sam (and Uncle Ole) $1300 altogether. Getting divorced is a bitch on your finances.

[Alleycat]

4. Put most on my visa

I had a lot of vet beills on it from 2005, the rest is going for 2 new tires.

I'm boing. I wish I could have used it for something nice.

[redwitch]

5. estimated taxes for next year

At least we don't have to pay estimated taxes until September now! Balance will go to bills. Bummer! I hardly ever get to spend on big, fun stuff. I need a new mattress too, at least I think it might help me sleep better! New glasses would be fun too, I'm sick of mine! Have you picked out the glasses and the bed?

[Left Is Write]

6. You mean my refund?

The return is the thing I filed with the IRS. :D

It was our first tax refund in five years. Most of it went into the bank, but we did treat ourselves to new patio furniture.

7. What is this "tax refund" of which you speak?

[Floogeldy]

44. HT did not speak of a tax refund.

Why are you? ;)

[Deja Q]

[Floogeldy]

46. Just for the record . . . .

I was kicking the shit out of ocelot. ;)

[Deja Q]

49. See 47 for the revised response.

It's been a pissy day. I wish I had done what I had contemplated 12 hours, 24 minutes ago.

[RevolutionaryActs]

8. It went into savings.

[LaurenG]

9. I claimed my self this year (took 1 exemption)

and I'm married but I think the IRS wants money back this year.:shrug: :cry: I'm going to recheck it but I think I'm the middle class this year.

[beyurslf]

10. My fed refund of $109 went to pay my state balance of $102.

Not sure where I am spending my surplus $7. You know what they say: don't spend it all in one place!

[Roon]

11. Mine went to this

[Droopy]

12. I got back a total of about $400 this year

from my local, state, and federal returns. I just put it in the bank. Usually, I get a larger refund than that, but I sold an IRA early and I had to pay taxes and a penalty on that.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear Hypno.....

We just apply our refund to the next estimated payment.....

Works for us!

:hi:

[Droopy]

14. What kind of business do you own, Peggy?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Hi, Droopy!

My husband and I don't own any businesses!

He just files quarterly....always has...

Seems to work out well...:shrug:

part of it is going to getting married.

according to state law i need some certificate signed by a physician that I am rubella free so i need to go to the doctor. part of the tax return will pay for that (no insurance), and the license, and the partying afterwards... and no idea what else. probably music. possibly an acoustic bass.

[djeseru]

20. Paying off the new furniture.

Well, did that in March when I got the return back. :)

[eyesroll]

28. My state refund went to pay for what I owe the federal government.

It's all a vicious cycle.

[Broken_Hero]

[Scout1071]

32. I just got new glasses!

Reading glasses and DU is looking fabulous. And I have to say, they are pretty hot for reading glasses.

[huskerlaw]

33. New couch!

I got a lovely new couch from Crate & Barrel. Now I need a flatscreen TV so that I'll actually use it. ;)

[bikebloke]

34. I don't make enough not to pay.

So instead of doing my taxes right off, as I've done all my working life, I wait. Halliburton will just have to suffer.

[Blue_In_AK]

35. What's a tax refund? n/t

[Cobalt Violet]

36. I get $0. back this year.

Got to love the * tax cut.

down payment for a house. I closed today!

[LisaL]

38. What tax return? I had to pay taxes.

[jane_pippin]

39. I don't get one. But if I did, it would go

to the "get the fuck out of dodge" fund. Also, probably to bills.

[Nicole]

40. The war on terror?

[wildhorses]

41. refrigerator, television and credit card debt

used refrigerator and television...excellent bargains from friends who are re-doing their house
the rest goes to freaking VISA


just thankful that I get a return

[Capn Sunshine]

42. Refund?

If I'm lucky I'll get away with less than 80 grand. But hey it could be worse. It could always be worse.

[Deja Q]

47. The word is "RETURN". Not "refund"

Sorry I'm having enou8gh trouble conveying something so simple to so many. I'll be compassionate and go shoot my worthless ass.

[Capn Sunshine]

51. No, The RETURN is what you file

The Refund is what you get for excess taxes paid.

[Deja Q]

52. Whatever. It's a word. Do me a favor: Exterminate me quick and painlessly.

[NMMNG]

43. I didn't get all that much

It's being directly deposited into my checking account, and from there I'll just use it to pay bills when they come up.

[Deja Q]

50. I didn't get much either.

Then again, what else is new.

[Omphaloskepsis]

48. Student Loans..

It should be taken automagically.
