2006 Tax Return Thread [ Post your estimated refund/amount owed ] Post back later when you file

Refund $1873
I estimate approximately $1873 refund that I'll use towards the photographer at the wedding

 

[TallBill]

Well, I'm honestly clueless this year as to what my return will be. I'll guess $1500, just on a whim. The last 4 months of the year offered tax free income for myself.

 

[shocksyde]

I think I'm gonna owe around $500, what a bummer.

 

[tfinch2]

Finished my return - refund is $268.

I've gotten up to 10k back. Having sold a home with capital gains (albeit about 85% depreciated) I have no idea. I will say break even

 

[necine]

1400 or so

Got back around $2K last year but I have about $6K more in deductions to claim this year.

For the last several years I've owed big despite having allowances set at zero. Probably a result of my wife and I making decent money while having no house or kids.

Now that we had a kid in '06, maybe I'll actually break even or get a small refund. Of course the money's just going to her instead of the gov't so it's not like I see any more. Oh well, I'd rather use it for her than for illegal wars and corporate welfare.

I haven't even began to THINK about running the numbers yet!
But with around $70K in Out-of-Pocket medical expenses alone, I don't see why I shouldn't get back everything I paid in ($5200 Federal, $2700 State).

Edit: Just ran some rough figures through an online tax estimator, TurboTax says I get it all back.

 

[dquan97]

I'm guessing about $500...even with claiming 9 allowances.

 

[new2AMD]

$2315

 

[dionx]

worst case, i think i'm going to owe about $1600.

 

[TUKIN18S]

2381 Federal
62 State

 

[MercenaryForHire]

Canada here.

Probably a couple grand back, but we get the **** taxed out of us to start with.

:thumbsup: I'm guessing about the same, I claimed 17 for a few monthes, then had to drop it when the wife went back to work..

 

[ebaycj]

Refund $6000

 

[ZetaEpyon]

About $250 to pay based on my rough estimates.

 

[ultimatebob]

No idea for this year... I'll estimate a $100 refund.

 

[TheSiege]

ok i have a question. i tried one of those estimated tax applets, one job i maid 22.7k and was taxed 2700 the other job i was paid 29k and i guessed that i was taxed around 3300, i also contributed 2.3k to my 401k so i put the numbers in as......49.7k income and 6k tax and it says i owe 800, whats up with that, i claim 0 exemptions at both my jobs

 

[FreshPrince]

is it that time again? sigh...

 

[3NF]

I'm hoping I get more back than I did last year

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

I ended up with a much larger refund than what I intended, because I think I got carried away withholding from two bonuses I received toward the end of the year (I was afraid of getting tagged with a large tax bill). My federal refund is $3,130, and state something like $700.

It's good timing in that I just bought this watch.

 

[j00fek]

i love working in the usa!

258 fed return

155 state return

 

[iamwiz82]

$4637 for Federal and just under $900 for state, whoops

We forgot to change our witholdings from Single to Married.

 

[BKLounger]

<---- Whips it out and puts it on the table (his tax return, get your mind out of the gutter)

$1800 back combined. This is the most I have ever gotten to date. Yipee.
