Who else is excited about doing their taxes?

Did you give Uncle Sam a big interest-free loan and now you think that getting your own money back is like free prize money?
 
I am. I always have the max taken out. That way I recieve a nice sized return. With some luck I'll have a 2100FP sitting on my desk in a few weeks. 🙂
 
Yay I get to pay Multnomah County taxes of a few hundred $$$

No I'm not excited, although I will be relieved when it's over.

See that is the one thing I don't understand about taxes. How can you end up owing money? I'm guessing when you throw a house into the mix that is when things get confusing?

Yes? I plan on using part of my refund to replace my aging 17in CRT for a Dell 2100FP.

Why not just have the correct amount taken out and spend the rest throughout the year? Even better, have the minimum taken out, invest the money you would have given, and pay your takes at the last minute while pocketing the profit??

Uhh...No idea. I'm only 22. I was told this was the best way. I'm all ears if there is a better way to do things. I am a total n00b when it comes to taxes. I gladly had over the $50 to H&R to make certain things are done correctly.

Why pay H&R $50 when you apparently have the brains to do it yourself or get Tax S/W for half the price of Block. 😕

The only time you need such people is when you have a very complicated return.

Simple W2 statements, a couple of interest statements are within a high school educations to handle.
Anyone with the brains to own a house, can then do a more complicated return that requires the additiaonl info.

The tax-preparers feed on FUD to fuel their outrageous fees.
 
im not totally excited about it. I'll probably get a few bucks back though, because I only worked half of last year (went to school in the fall)
