3800 tax refund

[imported_silverbullet]

so what's everyone going to do with their tax refund money? i got mine already. had jackson hewitt done it they charged me $192 fee. my refund was a little over a grand. they said if i own a house or a condo the refund would of been $5k-$6k damn! that's alot of $$ i'm losing. well, with this little refund i have i guess i'm going to have to put more mods for my monte. my plan was add intercooler, xp cam, and rebuild my tranny.
zzp jacked up their intercooler price like $1k for the kit and wbody store intercooler are sold out. guess intercooler if off my list for now. i'm going with xp cam and rebuilding my tranny. talked to trannyman95 he said he will rebuild my tranny for street/drag type for $1300. i think that's a very good deal plus whatever i want to buy and have it add on. my car only have 27k, but with the mods i have now and will later i figure it would be good idea to do it now. from the threads i read at clubgp and here it seem like alot of members are having tranny problems after adding mods and i hate to be one of them.

[Royalgtp]

I think ill get around 3-4k with the purchase of my house the last year or so...

1000 for a litte more of an emergency fund
2000 towards summer remodeling...either a deck, bathroom or a new HVAC system.

 

[imported_silverbullet]

wow i'm jealous that you all getting a bigger check than me . i should use the money to pay off bills , but since i'm working alot of overtime i guess the bills can wait when it's due.

$192?

I did both my federal and state in my underwear having a beer in under 45 minutes and it only cost $20.
Federal is free, state is 19.95 ( www.freetaxusa.com )
I should be seeing almost 7g in 10-15 days.

Don't be affraid to do your own taxes, it is very easy. The site goes step by step. You can go back if you are unsure. It's so easy even a caveman can do it. (I hope we dont have any cavemen on the boards )

 

[Royalgtp]

Yes, I was a little suprised at that as well. IT shouldnt be that high unless you have a buch of assests you sold or own some type of rental property..

I know a few accountants and they said they would charge a normal 1040 for around 60-90 bucks!

 

[imported_silverbullet]

i done the rapid refund that's why they charged me alot. i got my check the following day. next year i'll probably do my own tax.

 

[GTPquickRB]

my W-2's are upstate.....hopefully my mommy does them for me :lol:

 

[dsk727]

Adam got a much higher refund then me because he claimed Jocelyn and on top of that when I started at my current job I messed up my exemptions (at least I can blame that on the pregnancy brain at the time) but at least the gov't didn't get too much of my money free for a year! My refund will probably go to one of the following... some bill, wedding bills, baby supplies or just maybe a new purse LOL

 

[alexgtp]

I owe about 3G's

 

[Kyle]

I dunno what i'll be getting myself

I have 3 W2s this year.

It's going to be expensive. We did the rapid refund thing because we needed the money quick, otherwise I would have done it myself to save the money. They charge you for every form they fill out, and it adds up. Everything said and done it was about $400 for us through H&R Block, however, the rapid deal was $130 of it and there is an upcharge if you are using your return to pay for their services of about $80 IIRC. It will be less expensive for you since you don't own a house or have kids (they had at least 3 $40 upcharges for related forms). We were getting enough back, that I didn't really give a crap about the upcharges. You can shop around for other tax preparers also, but they are all about the same in cost. They won't tell you prices over the phone unless you threaten them either!

I simply told them I needed a price or I'd just go to someone else that would. It worked on at least 3 places for me.

As cold as it is today, I'm staying inside of the house to do taxes.

 

[imported_PaceCarBoozer]

I just hope I get enough back to make my car mobile again. They took out around 3700 from federal, and I just bought a house. I don't know what can be written off for closing costs and such, but we will see. Once the car is mobile, the rest goes to the house.......well,the garage

 

[Royalgtp]

Took a little more then an hour and I got about $2800 for me and the wife coming back!

Did in in tax usa for the first time but I must admit turbo tax was a little more friendly the previous year.


Im gunna put about 1k into an emergency fund

and the rest into some type of home improvement this summer.....Furnace/AC, Deck, Bath, etc.....

 

[chipmonk212121]

i put the 2300 i got back into my savings account. Those pricks took 7500 in federal taxes out of my paychecks this year!!!

 

[imported_silverbullet]

i spend all my tax refund money already. i went on a shopping spree at zzp web site. i bought my xp cam kit and bunches of stuff. i can't believe i actually spend over $1k. i'm not regretting it cause this was what i been wanting to do when i bought the car.

 

[Royalgtp]

Correction, Im going out today to purchase a 500-800 dollar snowblower for the end of the season deals!!!

Heavy duty, 5-8hp, 4cycle, 2 stage....

 

[nitrous]

Since my first mortgage payment wasn't until January 1st, I can't claim the house this year. I'm getting about $215 back between federal and state. Probably save it for my Bimmer.

 

[syP]
