finished my taxes today, unfortunately had to pay about $350 in fed and state because I couldn't get an exemption on my college tuition because my parents claimed me as a dependent...and they can't get it either...so wtf??
So now I'm currently murdering a pillow...
-
Wow, if they can't claim it either, why are they still claiming you? You guys need someone better to do your taxes. Even when I was in college, I was still getting several hundred back every year from the fed at least.
Also... cutting it close, ain't ya? ;)
-
no kidding.
filed mine back in early feb, got my return and have already spent/saved the money
-
>finished my taxes today
Wow, I'm the goddes of procrastination and I got mine done two days ago. :p You've got balls of steel, my friend.
-
Mine were also done in the middle of feb... and the money is long gone... all $3500 of it.
-
I didn't file until Sunday.
I'm only getting about $560 back altogether, but then again I was only taxed around $800 last year.

Wow, that('?)s a lot of cash back :eek:
-
Well, most of it was mine, but it's always nicer when you file jointly with your wife ;)
-
I didn't have to file this year! yey!

>>You've got balls of steel, my friend.
yes...yes I do
>>someone better to do your taxes
that's what I told my parents but they're set in stone on the fact that "turbotax does it just as good as the pro's"...hence my rage, because they don't just give deductions that no one can claim...and it makes me mad that my parents claimed me because I pay for everything anyway and they're not getting much of a deduction. And now, since I just fronted a bunch of money for some stuff, I'm short for anothe 2 weeks or so. So, my parents are paying the $350 now and I'm paying them back...they could've just not claimed me and we both would've came out fine (it was a $950 deduction by the way, fargin bastards).
Sure I was cutting it close, but they finished theirs the night before and I had some BS to wade through with the high school I did contract work for because they didn't send me a 1099 so I had to beat around the bush for a week to see if they reported my earnings or not...they didn't...
damn the man

cheapest turbotax is ~$30, I get my taxes done for about the same price by someone else... Waldo, I think you're in Rockford, correct? if so, I get my taxes done with TaxPol in Mount prospect (Rand and Central)
-
well im about 25min from rockford, next year im going to either the place you suggested or at least H&R block
-
Oh yeah I guess I should file tonight. In all fairness I was waiting for mom to do her's since she goes to the accountant. Since I made so little last year, she's claiming me and my tution. I'm claiming no one and still get the money back. Plus since she's co-owner of the truck (so I can ride on her insurance) she got to claim that as well.
-
the only thing I got to write off was 300 miles for business...that's it. You're lucky man, don't take it for granted.
-
Yeah real lucky to get those ~$35 back
-
Did mine in January, got about the same as Ober. I claim 0 deductions, because I never want to send them a check. Most I ever got back was @ $6k, but had deductions for moving for a job, job search, etc.
-
Good to see you sal :)
And my father-in-law does my taxes... I'm not real comfortable with my in-laws knowing how much I make, but he used to be a controller for a major national company, so he knows his stuff when it comes to money and taxes. Plus, between my wife and I, moving from 2 different states into a new one, he had to file 7 different tax forms for us. What a nightmare. :(
So I'm taking him to a baseball game this weekend and getting him whatever he wants... plus we're taking them out to dinner this weekend too :)
-
My dad does the taxes. Yay for working for Bank of America for 25 years!
-
Bank of America! :mad:
Tell your dad to tell those fuckers to quit sending me junk mail! I get a fucking letter from them 2 or 3 times a week!
-
So do I, actually. It always says "Please do not discard", but it's always the same return address, so it always goes straight to the trash.
ober - which team are you going to see?
