Your Refund? (If you're getting one.)

[Jessifer]

So far I'm getting $913 from Federal. About three hundred more than last year. Nice.

I still need to file for my tax refund...

I don't get the American taxy thing. Everyone automatically gets given money back? Why?

[jamer123]

It depends on how much money you made the previous year, and how much you had taken out in federal..etc. Basically if you are poor and have the regular amount taken out, you'll get a small percentage back.

I'm sure we'll get another round of Stimulus checks again, as part of the Obama economy recovery plan.

I got $1700 at least coming back in taxes PLUS I get my bonus check march 1 that'll be $5k o_O omfg I'm so happy.

[Jessifer]

Nice.

I finished my paperwork last night (as well as penciled my sister's in for her), so I just have to mail them out today. I'm getting a total of $1083 back.

That's awesome Jess, you should PM me how much you made last year so I can guestimate how much i'll be getting back =]

still haven't gotten my W2 =[ .. but I know last year I made in the ballpark of 25k.

[Jessifer]

Yes, you really need a job.

[D3V]

It builds character.. (my parents used to tell me)

[Asamin]

Parents tell you that about everything.

Maybe if you didn't go to all those summer camps you would have time to look for one...

[Jessifer]

Mailed my stuff out yesterday. Now just waiting on the money. :)

[D3V]

Awesome, we get our W2's in 4 days, LOL.

[KagomJack]

I dunno yet. I need two more W-2s before I can file.

Last year I used turbotax (I think) online for free. It was super easy and they sent my refund electronically to my bank account. Just thought I'd mention it for anyone who hates doing/mailing paperwork.

[Jessifer]

I thought about using that, but it was no effort at all for me to just do the work myself.

[D3V]

I've always used turbotax, but have been paying for it the past few times.
