Cashmere 502 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Ugh. I'll do them eventually. I usually try not to get much back so I'm not sure I'll notice a difference. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Chalupacabra Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I did mine almost 2 weeks ago. I always get a return because I ensure I have more taxes taken out than the minimum. Some say don't do that because the gubment is making interest off your money, but I gives a damn. It keeps the IRS off my back, and it's always like an extra paycheck every year. I hear a lot of crying about paying more.I've heard more crying because people aren't getting as much back on their refund, actually. I guess they can "blame" Trump, who lowered the withholding. People will b*tch about taxes no matter what, though. It's the price of living in the US. Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Krawlie 5,348 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Were getting more than double back than last year and I dont remember why Link to post Share on other sites
Tank 3,232 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I always do mine 6 months later in October, pay the fine, and never get anything back. Link to post Share on other sites
Ms. Spam 1,788 Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 But you pay a fine!? I am kinda weirded out by that. I have been home sick with the flu and have started my taxes 23 times. But never finished them. Link to post Share on other sites
Iceheart 1,886 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I am still "waiting on my health insurance paperwork," but who am I kidding, I don't get that until two days after I file, regardless of when I file. Mostly, I'm just waiting to be totally unemployed (STILL typing this from an empty cubicle) so I have the time and brainspace. My mom did hers the other day, though, and went from getting ~2k to getting $40 back, which she is Not Happy About. Link to post Share on other sites
Ms. Spam 1,788 Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 I'm like Chalupa and pull extra out of my check because I work two jobs so it usually pushes me into a different tax bracket barely. Last year I got a refund but this year I think I'm going to break even. I started them again and fell asleep at my desk. I should probably go back to bed. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I do mine right away. Single income, three kids, own a home. I never owe. Link to post Share on other sites
zambingo 169 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Done. Still got a refund, despite losing health coverage and being ta- excuse me penalized two grand for not having it. Yay procreation credit and also for claiming no dependents throughout the year, it saved us from the ta- excuse me penalty. *the one thing the Trump admin/GOP did that I like, next year no penalty... although we should have health coverage by then, but at least there wont be a partial penalty.

Tank 3,232 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 My income goes through a loan-out S corp. Basically, I get paid as a corporation, the money goes into a corporate business account, and I pay myself a salary via payroll from said company. I do personal taxes based on this income. My company pays corporate tax fees, and I have to go through a debt vs income breakdown, accounting for what is usually tens of thousands of dollars in expenses. I co-own a home with my partner, and she is also a corporation owner. It's complicated as EFFFFFF Link to post Share on other sites

The benefit being you can take enough salary to remain in a lower tax bracket then take dividends on top of that which are tax free up to a point. She complains how complicated it is but the benefits seem worth it. #freelancers Link to post Share on other sites
Tank 3,232 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Yeah, that's exactly what I do. We call them "distributions." Link to post Share on other sites
Cerina 2,527 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 We're getting "back" more this year than last. Almost double. I wouldn't call it a refund though, because we don't actually pay into anything all year. Since Trevor is self-employed we get to deduct a lot of expenses each year, and since we're both registered adult volunteers with BSA every single function we attend is "volunteerism" and we can deduct the mileage. That averages out to over 2 trips a week and several out-of-town trips a year. It adds up quickly. Link to post Share on other sites
Tank 3,232 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Got mine knocked out. Paying about $15k. That's about double of what I had to pay last year. I made a fair amount more than last year, but my accountant says it had more to do with the new tax code than my income. Link to post Share on other sites

Cashmere 502 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I got my refund last week. I usually try not to get much back, but this year we ended up getting $3,000. I'm putting it in the bank to pay for a destination wedding we want to attend later in the year. Link to post Share on other sites
Iceheart 1,886 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Okay, I finally did my taxes. My refund is half of what I normally get, but I did take home more despite not getting a raise last year. Link to post Share on other sites
