What are you planning on spending your tax returns on this year??

Dude I meant Tax credit!
I'm getting 9200 fed and 800 state.

lol, wut?

Been trying to tell people this on TXB and related sites for a good decade.. I know you are just joking, but seriously, people DO NOT understand that they aren't getting paid free money.. it's their money they are getting returned to them.

The way people discuss their return/refund kinda drives me nuts. It's part of the American way I guess.. can't save money on their own, have to hand it over to the government and then blow it at the end of the year.
Yes with earned child tax credit Free money, Rent credit free money, Daycare credit free money. Need i go on. Oh yeah wife just graduated works at HR block so no fees to have taxes done.

Yeah in your case.. free money!

Haven't calculated everything yet (might not get that 10k back, I have some income I'm unsure on the taxes of) but last year I paid about $64,000 in federal income tax. And of course another $10k or so in SS/Medicaid...

Thanks when I go get my first new game with tax $ I'll ;)think of you
 
HOPEFULLY A LIMITED EDITION
HALO 5 CONSOLE!!!

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooiooiiiooooooooooooooooooooooo
 
Got it , so far I bought DR3 (again), Ryse, and Need for speed.
Though about Madden, but I actually think that would be a waste of money.
 
Only getting $385 back this year and owe $60 in state tax. Bummer.
 
It was a lot nicer for me last year because I had college stuff to write off. This year, not so much.

WTF do you do that you paid more in fed taxes than most americans earn a year?


I wanna know..............
 
Dang. I might get Xbox One with tax money as well. I can't get over the fact that I do not have Xbox One and Titan Fall is coming out in couple of weeks! Plus Halo 5 is coming out this year!
 
I write code, man.
With a salary like that I'd have to assume your code writing days are mostly over (meaning management), though I could be wrong, you do live in Seattle so wages are MUCH higher than what they are here.
 
My refund is going to be bigger than expected, definitely going to help out. Have some trips planned in August.

But damn, what kind of code you write? if you're paying that much in fed taxes, I'm assuming you make about 200k or more? Hot damn, that must be some well sought out code.
 
Decided to spend a bit of my tax return and get this:

Nope, outside of requirements gathering my time is spent coding/designing.

It's lucrative because it's high stress high risk work. Company I am contracted at has 10's of billions in revenue and has applications that are critical to production of their products, and sometimes are forced requirements by government regulators or they can face fines and delays.

I was brought in because of one such regulation finding; product was going to be delayed if an app wasn't created in less than 2 months to fulfill a need. PM knew my reputation and called me and hired me away from my old job a week later. That was 7 years ago, I now have coded and managed upgrades to 7 applications here that cross numerous business segments.

And no sharkboy1200 I wasn't responsible for that hack.

I did once discover a vulnerability in Vbulletin where I posted a link to a site I built, and it would change your avatar if you clicked it.

Changed a bunch of people's Avvy's to "owned by riotous." That was like a decade ago lol.. I reported the flaw to Vbulletin before the hack was discovered by more nefarious types.

Theoretically could have changed any profile value including registered email address and then done account restores.. But I didn't go there.

Ah, you're a contractor then. They are the ones making the big bucks, at least where I work.

Yeah been on contract 7 years, a rarity.. Was supposed to be 6 months. They can't find a full time replacement for me and I keep bluffing their "go direct or get lost" motto... It's worked.

This might be the year it doesn't. I'll probably go somewhere else or find another contract.

Yeah we actually have a few of them at my work place too; contractors who have been around close to 10 years I think. They are of course the only devs making upwards of $150k.
 
I need a low-end receiver for my bedroom TV/stereo set up, a new pair of jeans and some other minor treats.

My tax return is significantly less that last year but still better than I had feared. Thought I might owe some which would suck right now as I'm sitting at zero in regards to debt for the first time in years.
