What will you blow YOUR tax refund on?

With a grand sum of $2.00 coming back, I think I may just buy a BIG MAC or a box of .22's, or put a scant down payment on a new F150 PU bwaaaaawaaaawaaaa.

I'm glad I saw this topic. It's been so long I couldn't remember how to spell refund. :D

If you're not a little upset with the way the world is going, you're not paying attention.
 
Wife and I are blowing ours on going to Washington DC on Mother's Day for the Second Amendment Sisters counter march to Rosie & Co's Million Mom March.

I really wanted to get an M-1A or M-1, but I think this is more important.

Please don't let me look back and say that I 'blew' this years' refund. I would much rather say that I am investing it in our future. The only way that will happen is if we get a good showing for the DC march.

PLEASE ATTEND!!!

Holy crap, Bruce! I feel for you. I feel kinda bad that I complained about my piddly tax problem with you dealing with such things.

The thing I don't get is, is the provisional tax completely separate from your normal income tax? As in collected on top of the normal income tax? Otherwise, it would seem that you'd always be paying a year ahead of time but you'd never have to pay this year and next year at the same time.
And if so, they tax the same income twice?!?
Words don't describe what that makes me feel. I'll bring this up next time someone tries to tell me how benevolent your government is.
 
I owe, I owe, its back to work I go. :(
But I'm still getting something :)

Bruce..
Rest assured, ain't my rellies, nor are they Sicilian. Think about it...what self-respecting Mafioso would would dream up a system like that? Say you don't pay...then what? They lock you up in jail, have to support you and pay out welfare for your family...they are losing money when you don't cooperate. Kneecaps are a better way to keep the bucks rolling in ;)

About this provisional tax.....how do you get out, stop the process? I mean if you are paying next years tax this year, "they" are a year ahead of the game....so how do you retire without being in the hole?

Don:

Provisional tax is on top of the tax you've already paid. If next year your actual income is lower, yes, you can get a "refund". (But they've had your money for over a year.)

DC:

Can't pay??? They take your house, car, whatever.

Yes, when you get "out" of the system (stop working your ass (arse) off, you can get back a proportion of your last payment. I mean, they're not total crooks!!!! ;)

We the only ones getting a healthy check back? Perhaps you guys need more deductions or your own business ;)

We are paying off our credit card, like we do every year and remodeling my office. I can't wait...

Refund? No such luck. After my wife and I got through paying the Feds what seemed like a zillion bucks (or at any rate, enough to get us out of debt and allow us to sleep a little easier), we still owed $10.74. So I had to write the Government a check for $10.74. We felt like this $10.74 was the last little drop of blood being squeezed out of us. :rolleyes:
 
LadydeeJ,

If you are getting a healthy refund, all you have done is give a healthy interest free loan to the government.

If you have your own business, whoever is calculating your estimated payments is doing a poor job. If you don't have your own business, and only "lots of deductions," you need to amend your W-4. Tax refunds usually represent sub-optimal tax planning, rather than doing something good or smart.
 
A boy and his father were having lunch at a restaurant one day. The boy suddenly started choking on his food, making horrible noises and turning blue. His father, while frantic, was helpless to aid him.

At the far end of the restaurant, a man was having coffee and a doughnut while reading a newspaper. Seeing and hearing the commotion, he finished the story he was reading, calmly folded the paper and set it on the counter, and finished the last of his snack.

Then he stood, and walked calmly over to where the young boy was gasping his last breath. After a moment's pause, he grasped the boy by the testicles, gave a gentle squeeze, then twisted them slightly. After a moment, the boy coughed up what had been stuck in his throat.

The father, effusive in his gratitude, then asked, "Are you a doctor?"

"No", the man replied. "I work as an auditor for the I.R.S."
 
Already got it and spent it on a Sig Pro 2340 in a .357 sig.

Of course the most action it has seen was done at the factory with the test rounds.

All work and no play make Chris and his new toy very dull boys.

Maybe glamour-puss Janet Reno can buy Agent Horiuchi a new sniper rifle with the almost $2000 that we owe.
