You got that right. You get your return back a lot faster if you don't wait until April.

I haven't even done my taxes yet since I'm still waiting on a few forms (mortgage interest statement in particular). :|

I should be getting a pretty hefty return this year and a chunk of it is earmarked for a new road bike. I've had the same on of going on 8 years now....I need a new toy. :D

Will be almost identical to this one but with Campagnolo wheels and components.

I doubt I'll get anything (single male, no kids or dependents) but I guess I could apply it to one of my loans.

Don't they have to send it by the 31st?

My brother's getting back over $4,000! lucky bastard, but he does own a house.

Me.. I should get back $1,500-2,000. I haven't thought about what I'll spend it on. Maybe some games and food.

I only have a jar of jelly in my fridge



:(

I only get $470 back this year, but better than paying them. Last year I got $820 back. I think I will save it for a rainy day.

You guys really should adjust your withholding so that you don't get the big refunds. No reason to give the government interest free loans of your money.

I would rather get a refund than be kicked in the balls and find out I owe....my withholding is really just about right.....were it not for the fact that I bought a house and thus have all those wonderful deductions, thank God, I wouldn't be getting much back at all.
