My wife: Ummm... our tax return is going to be $4000, and I wanna upgrade my computer.

Woohoo! This means I can upgrade mine, too! X800, here I come! :D

My wife runs a small start-up business, hence the large return.

If she uses the computer for her business she can write off the cost of the upgrades.

Excellent. Get her to write off your upgrades too.

Damn, wish I had $4000 to play with.

Most people can estimate their taxes without a W2, just look at your last check stub.

Oh, and be sure to support the financial services industry in their scheme to profit from social security. Then, when every other Joe Average out there blows his SS on pet rocks and tech stocks, we'll just need to take care of them anyway. ;)

No, but we've entered in all the information that would have been contained on the W-2. We haven't actually filed our return yet, but I saw all the numbers.

I've had both my wife and my W-2 for a week, now. I just need to get off my lazy a$$ and file.

Someone should change their withholding and stop giving the government an interest-free $4k loan ;)
