It's March 10th - are your Income Taxes completed yet?

[LynneSin]

Poll question: It's March 10th - are your Income Taxes completed yet?

Just did mine today! I'm getting a nice chunk of change back and even $90 from the state of Delaware (go figure - I donated $10 of it to the Veteran's Home Fund since Bush obviously won't donate any money to our Veterans).

So do you have your taxes completed yet?

[SiobhanClancy]

1. Not me...I owe money and can't pay it..

maybe they'll put me in jail,who knows.

[DarkPhenyx]

8. Not for a couple years at laest...like 5.

Then they will send you this sedate little eltter informing you that you didn't file, then you go round and round on it for a while...eventually you pay or go to jail, but not for a few years.

Would getting an extention help you out?

[SiobhanClancy]

11. I don't know...

I thought you had to pay on time even if you filed an extension. It's rather embarrassing,but paying rent and buying food on unemployment don't leave any extra:)

[DarkPhenyx]

13. Yer supposed to.

But, unless it is heaping great wadges of cash that you owe, they might let you slide. Ask an accountant or even the IRS. AS long as you are up front about it they are actually pretty cool. Might also ask if, since you are still unemployed, if there is a waiver you can get.

15. Thanks for the advice!

greatly appreciated:)

[Beaker]

20. nope.

you can file for an aoutomatic extension, and not have to pay till august-
i do it just about every year.

3. You (meaning the person who created this poll) are a dingbat.

Mine are started actaully, but I needed info from my broker that I didn't get on the 1099 they sent me.

4. Completed - Refund in the bank!

Awaiting a spending spree to commence at a later date. I might have to fix my car with some of it though. :-(

[LynneSin]

10. You can spend it on Ramsey and I in DC

:bounce:

[GOPisEvil]

12. Some of it will probably be spent there.

:-)

5. Thanks for giving to the Veteran's Home Fund

It is greatly appreciated and will be put to good use. I don't do my taxes until early April.

6. Zomby does taxes..... Zomby is smart.

[prolesunited]

7. No

But then again, it's only March 9. I still have another day. ;-)

[Bertha Venation]

9. Yeah. Spent the money -- on a house payment.

Gotta file state yet. That'll be another whopping twenty-eight cents.

[nickinSTL]

14. tax refund?

I've done my federal taxes, but haven't sent them in because I OWE money. Tax cut my ass.

I've put off doing state taxes, because I always owe the state more than the feds.

[yorgatron]

16. what if your income from the last year was

zero? besides selling off random stuff and doing odd-jobs?

[TXlib]

17. Got my refund in February, and put it in savings.

[GOPisEvil]

18. I had mine directly deposited.

Until I got my bank statement, I didn't even know it was there.

[TXlib]

22. I did direct deposit too.

I also e-filed with TurboTax.

[chiburb]

19. Filed, refund received in 11 days...n/t

.

[Mr. McD]

23. Done, and spent. I put the money down

on a new Toyota Tacoma.;-)

[damnraddem]

24. Nothing done yet. And to make that worse, ...

we'll probably get a refund.

We have to schedule an appointment and organize our stuff.

And, oh darn, I missed noticing the dingbat option.

[bigwillq]

25. Other: Completed just got check yesterday

26. I DId Mine Online Last Weekend

http://www.taxact.com/

They have a deluxe software package you can buy, or a bare-bones system you can either download for free or use on their secure server. I've used them for the past few years and have been very happy with them.

It cost me a grand and glorious $15.90 to e-file my federal and state returns - my refunds should be deposited into my savings account sometime next week.

[LynneSin]

27. I use Turbo Tax - same cost

:D

[trackfan]

28. Just did 'em yesterday.

I was pleasantly surprised that I only owed about $200 - and I will get a refund of $190 from state taxes. Of course I immediately mailed in the state return, and will hold fed till much closer to the date.

[ZenLefty]

29. Got my refund in January.

:P

[baldguy]

30. Other

Everything is scattered throughout my home and office, needing organization - and I've already spent the refund.

[PVnRT]

31. Got them filed back in February

All online, I love having them done really early.

[SiobhanClancy]

32. Did all of you get a refund?

I can't believe I'm the only poor sucker who owes MORE:(

[SammyWinstonJack]

34. You're not the only one

Have to cough up an additional $1,500.....:-( Waiting til the last minute to write that check.

[mac56]

33. Getting a wee refund from the feds.

Naturally, mailed that in right away. Still waiting on the check.

The $ from the feds, plus about another $15, is what we owe the state of Georgia. Naturally, that'll get mailed on April 15th.
