So, who isn't done yet? I did the H&R Block thing this year, cost me over 6 bills this year and still owed another 7+. Here's to hoping good returns for at least one of ya :)
-
$13.00 isn't bad Chet. :o
-
I owe just under an additional $3k to the Federal Black Hole... ::)
-
I got some back and with state about a grand. Better than I usually get but then I had more donations to Goodwill last year.
-
Gravity from the Federal Black Hole got hold of me this year because I used IRA $$ to buy a home. I waited till the last possible moment to give them what they claim is theirs.
-
I got a rather large return, but small compared to how much was withheld. Mostly because of a retroactive paycheck that included back pay increases for about three years. Rolled in with a usual bi-weekly paycheck, and the whole thing withheld at the maximum rate. :o
-
Feds kicked me back $500, but State took it right back... :(
-
I got ~$100 back from my wonderful :o state of Illinois but owed the Feds ~$1k. It's about the same every year; I'd rather have use of my money throughout the year than let the Feds have it.
-
+1
-
You guys aren't paying your fair share.
-
I had to cough up an additional $52K above my normal quarterlies. :o
What irritates me is my government uses my money so wisely.
-
Owed the state, getting some back from Feds for a net positive back. Only a couple of hundred. That's the way I like it. Don't want to have to pay more in but don't like it when I get a lot back cuz it means they got the free use of my money for some time. I begrudge them every penny.

+1 on getting a little back. Actually enough to pay for hallway carpet in our Ranch house. Not expected but welcome.
Today is actually my Wife's birthday. Not that I would ever forget it. :) Getting her new carpet gives her something new to change in the house.
-
I live in Texas, so there is no State income tax. ;D
Accountant charged me $225 to do my taxes so that I could get back $850. Better than last year when I had to send another $3k to Uncle Sam to misuse. :'(
Just wish my "fair share" wasn't so dang much!!! My wife an I paid in more than the cost of my first house and my first two new cars COMBINED. :o

Ok, I'll be the one...
The Beatles - Taxman (2009 Stereo Remaster) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqK97av7I3s#)

Love that song! Thanks Conrad!
-
You all are missing the point. None of it is your money. It all belongs to the Fed. You just pay the interest while it's in your possession.

Very wise man. ;)

Shamelessly stolen from elsewhere on the internet:
Did you ever notice if you put the words "The" and "IRS" together it spells "THEIRS"?
-
Evian water spelled backwards is naive. And if you play that Beatles album backwards, it screws up your needle.
-
Quote from the Beatles; "One for you 19 for me, I'm the tax man, if 5% seems too small, be thankful I don't take it all, yeah, I'M the TAXMAN!" In don't know why I love that line so much.
-
It's the %5 part. I wish it were that low. If it were I could have me a new KTM350EXC ;D

In the song they were implying 5% for you, 95% for the taxman. A 95% tax rate. And perhaps at their income levels in England at that time, that was their tax rate.
-
Need more coffee :o

Yes, it was that high.

We lost our child deduction because of my daughter's age which was worth $1k. Now we have to pay $1k. At least next year I'll have education deductions as she starts college this fall.
-
Yep, yep, yep. Next year I'll be retired so it'll be a different story for me. Plus I won't have to pay any state income taxes. 8)

Nope, once I retire Illinois doesn't require me to pay state income taxes any longer. :)

Hush! I'm hoping that any changes made are NOT retroactive.
-
Good luck

Once retired what's keeping you Illinois? The wonderfull winter riding you have?

My wife works for the state too. She can't retire for another 5 to 8 years. After that we can go where ever we like. The plan is to keep a home base here, buy a motorhome with a trailer for Connie and travel.

Get a toy hauler, at least then you can hide the fact you trailered the beast ;)
Make sure you point the nose West, I have a trailer hookup so you and yours could base camp while you ride the best roads in the nation :)
-
Ride the Connie and pull the RV. Trailers are for boats!
-
We have a 30' 5th wheel now and my wife won't drive the pick-up and pull it. Since I can't pull two trailers at the same time or ride the bike while driving the pick-up, I'll have to get a motorhome and trailer the bike.

Thanks Chet! I may take you up on that. ;D
When the time comes to buy the motorhome, if there's a model that can haul Connie in the back that may be an option.

I'm looking at a 24' toyhauler, $8k, makes for a 32' space once all setup. I could get the GS, YZ, quad for SWMBO, and the C14 loaded for a well rounded trip to say Moab or wherever I may go. There are so many great roads and many of them aint paved and those that are need more than the GS will offer. Why the YZ???? If ya have to ask ya just don't get it ;)
