How much are getting back from taxes this year?

[karamazov80]

Not a dime, I have to pay like I do almost every year since I have been married. My wife's employer does not seem to withhold enough taxes, so we pay.

Pretty much my situation. For my part, I tried to hold as much back as possible, but we still owed over $1,000.

No Stimulus Checks with this bogus "Stimulus Package".

Conversely, they could have sent a $19,000 check to EVERY tax-payer directly and it would have cost less than the B.S. that just got passed. Think that just might have helped folks and actually stimulated the economy?

Politicians (Obama included) are all snake oil salesmen. Quit falling for it, people.

And IJ, you might want to not have so much taken out. I think I saw you said something like $4900 and $3400 getting back? that money would do better in your pocket than in the gov't pocket. I believe California got issues IOU's during a tax return a year ago. How bad would that suck?

I'll be getting none of your business.

I get $194, not great, but it's something. The government always screws over college students with taxes.

In Canada our rebates are beer... I'm hoping for a 2-4.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

dunno yet...I haven't got the papers to sign & mail back

$4200 Federal and -$109 State. Got screwed out of the homebuyer credit because of 2 freaking days.

All of the $$ is going towards the wife's trip home in May.

I'm getting just over $1k and I was a student last year.

Really? How? I was always under the impression that working college students get almost all their tax money back.......


I should be getting about $300 back..... It'll be going towards one of the few items I'll be getting this year (Wolverine PF ex, Sabretooth PF ex (if it converts ) and the Jack Sparrow PF (If it comes out this year )

 

[Grenouille]

I'll probably end up paying a bit, but that's fine with me. My investments did very well last year rebounding big from 2008.

Now I just have to wait for my accountant to get back to me....

 

[Nacho]

Between the missus and I we usually get back around $5000 AUD
every year. This year the money is going towards our 3 week
holiday in September to Hong Kong and Thailand. And yes I will be
dropping in to Toy hunters....:chew:chew..Cant wait..

 

[DarthNeil]

Just got our taxes back... I'm getting over $900 and the missus is almost getting $1000...

 

[ChrisCJ99]

I just caught wind that I'll be getting $1100 back this year! :

That's the most I've ever gotten back! That money will just be stashed away for living expenses, and to fund the three PF's I want this year (Wolverine, Undying Carcass and Jack Sparrow )

You guys SUCK!

I OWE almost 2 grand! I've been doing (full time) freelance for the past couple of years and the self employment tax is killing me! I pay about 40% of my income to taxes! No matter what deductions I put in, it's not nearly enough to make a dent.

Forget working for myself. I'm really going to have to find a real job this year.

Well, congratulations to you guys. Hmmph.

That's what sucks about being a contract worker.... I did this at the end of 2008 for only about three months. I ended up paying about $800 out of my pocket!

So I feel your pain.... A full time job is always ideal. But I'm not sure what industry you're in..... What work do you do BTW?

 

[Chapter 2099]

I'm a full time student with no income....

So I'm getting back a big goose egg!!!

 

[The Ween]

I'm getting about $800 back between state and federal.

Put alittle toward your student loans.

I got $10k back this year! Having a kid definitely helped. Unfortunately, ALL of the money is going towards the down payment towards the new house. Exciting, and yet disappointing that we can't use some of it for fun.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

about $1100 total
