Ewww.:puke: To each their own I suppose.

 

I just believe in using my money myself rather than giving out interest free loans.

Some people like myself would blow it rather than save it. I consider it like a savings account. I get something I need w/ it every year. Last year carpet, this year possibly new furniture.

Filed over the weekend and I'm getting the biggest tax return I've ever gotten.

 

Might be time to buy that HD TV.

 

I'm going to be buying mine this week hopefully on Wednesday.

I shall file my tax return on April 15th this year same as every year.

No extension? lol

I will make you a little bit better offer. Every week, from January to December, send me $50 from your payday. This will allow you to accumulate $2600 over the course of the year. Then on January 1 (I won't make you wait for your W2 or make you file any papers) I'll refund your money promptly. No fuss, no muss. No anxiety about the amount or the possibility of owing.

 

What do you say?

Very nice strategy. I owe almost every year and that's the way I like it.

Do you smile a little knowing you used a little bit of Uncle Sam's money interest free during the year instead of the other way around?

Filed 2 weeks ago and already have the return in hand with about half of it spent.

No extension? lol

 

Actually, I used to get an extension every year but it just made the penalties higher on the balance due because I was too lazy to send in the money with the extension.:lol:

I know I do, I am a straight commissioned salesperson so its a little tough to gauge but generally I can figure it out and heck, if I owe the government a couple grand at the end of the year, so what. I invested MY MONEY throughout the year or simply had that money for things that pop up like car repairs, medical bills, etc.

 

I guess when I was younger I used to enjoy getting the fat refund and blowing it on a vacation or whatever but as I get older and wiser I tend to do things differently. Oh lord I am sounding like an old timer.

Need a partner? I'd love to get in on that action myself.

Big time, it's the only way this old cpa has of sticking to the man. I'm a renegade.

I share the sentiments of many in this thread. Two years ago I decided to stop giving the government an interest free loan.

I'm going to use an accountant this year for the first time. What should I expect to pay? Pretty simple stuff. I have a house a couple of kids nothing crazy.

As do I.

 

But I do see the point that some people lack the discipline to save the extra they would be making. So it's probably a benefit to them financially to let the government save for them (or Watsui).

Why not use Turbo Tax? Pretty simply to use and for someone like you - not an overly complicated situation - it would be perfect. The Deluxe version allows you to file both your state and federal electronically. $49 at Sam's.
