who's started doing or is finished with 2008 taxes?

[dquan97]

Finished mine. Just gotta send in a check to my IRA - in time to be counted as 2008 contribution

 

[Deeko]

Just got my W2 in the mail. Still waiting for one more form before I can do it. I'm a little disappointed - they included relocation benefits as taxable income. I thought that was non-taxable. That moves me out of getting a refund for student loan interest. Bah.

 

[hclarkjr]

got my money direct deposited on friday

 

[Ns1]

It's 530am and I just spent 3.5 hours doing my schedule c.

 

[GeekDrew]

I'll have my finished within 24 hours of receiving my W2... which I haven't received yet.

 

[fallenangel99]

Waiting on stuff from Vanguard and Dodge and Cox.. so far est to receive 3000 back

 

[brxndxn]

I bought a house this year.. and then AIG sold my loan to Everhome who sold my loan to Countrywide.. so far all I got was the Everhome interest statement.. I should get 2 more, right?

argh..

 

[jlee]

I did mind the other day.

 

[xboxist]

Did mine last weekend. I don't have any assets or need to do any of those fancy schedules, etc. 1040EZ takes care of me. I worked at one place last year so I was able to do mine after waiting for that single W2.

 

[olds]

Fed taxes done and supposed to get a refund by the 10th.
State done but they have delayed refunds because of the budget.

 

[sswingle]

Still waiting on the last W2

 

[Old Hippie]

I did my spouse's last week but since I always owe the Feds, mine goes at the last minute with a paper check to drag it out a little longer.

I'm making 2.60% APR on my checking account and I appreciate the interest a little more than they do.

 

[Tobolo]

Finished it. Just waiting a week or so to make sure nothing else shows up.

 

[mundane]

Still waiting for more paperwork, frustrated I couldn't file my taxes earlier (going to have to wait even longer for that CA state refund)

 

[TallBill]

Almost done, waiting on like one more piece of paperwork.

That is such bullshit. How in the fuck can they get away with that?

Because nobody stands up and says no.



Also, I finished my taxes this morning.

I am getting a decent refund back but I'm torn on whether I should make a large payment on my sole remaining credit card, or piss away a large chunk of it in electronic toys.

 

[drum]

i want to do it sooner but I'm waiting to make sure I have everything

I think i'm done, but this is the first year i've ever been in an employee stock purchase plan.... is there some kinda statement i need to wait for due to that? i also joined the credit union but that's just a glorified savings account

there is, but only if you make a transaction (sell)*

*non-CPA answer

for the credit union, you will need to wait for 1099-int because you likely earn interest on the savings account... no matter how miniscule

i haven't sold anything, it's one of those "just let it sit" type of accounts. So an employee stock purchase plan is technically taxable like a 401k? all i do is roll any dividends back into it


and i probably made <$1 in interest from the CU, should i seriously wait for that statement?

 

[skim milk]

just did mine

getting back around $3000 from federal

 

[dmw16]

Finished them on the 31st of January. Early tax returns FTW!

 

[NoCreativity]

Bah, have to wait for the wife's W2. Her idiot boss is always pretty slow with it. Also have a couple 1099s but those should be here in the next couple days and need to get a couple charitable donation statements. Looks like a decent sized refund so I'll need to adjust my exemptions for next year.

 

[randomlinh]

done last saturday. my taxes are very simple. all online. only got just under $1k back tho combined.

 

[ViviTheMage]

buddy got his money back already...


my stuff is filed and good to go.

Are you kidding? Pay off your debt. You'll feel better in the long run. I can't express in words how much better I feel these days knowing I don't owe a huge debt to my credit cards. All the debt I have now are everyday purchases so that they don't cancel the cards.

Electronic toys are nice but not worth it. Go outside if you are bored and do something productive.
