What are you spending your tax return on?

[Junior314]

Try as I might I can never configure our taxes where it comes out close to zero. Normally we dump what we get back into whatever goal we are working towards in the moment. This time however I plan on getting myself some goodies.

1) Remington 870 (unsure what model)
2) Some firearm training classes
3) BJJ gym membership
4) Undetermined handgun

So what is NES spending the return of money stolen from them on?

 

[Taipan01]

Damn, seems like you missed the mark of breaking even....by a lot.

 

[556USER]

What refund? If I was getting one I'd certainly visit one of my numerous local gun shops.

 

[Broc]

My case is more like ... how long do I want to wait to send the check to the gov while the money is earning interest.

 

[graphite]

Same as every year - Hookers and blow.

The quality of each depends on the size of the refund, if any.

 

[VTski4x4]

I wish I was getting a refund. Hope the .gov enjoys the two Staccatos they can now afford.

What's a tax return?

 

[240Geezer]

Refund? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

This. I can't remember the last time I received a check due to my overpaying the Gov and letting them use my money for free. The challenge is planning so you don't owe too much and get a penalty.

 

[HARRYM]

We owed money this year.

 

[CoastieRon]

If by chance I get my non-interest bearing money back, it will go directly into one of my accounts to make that interest back lol

I should have known better starting this thread.

Refund?

I screwed up my last IRS Estimated Tax payment and paid it on 2024 taxes instead of 2023. Accountant said to either make another payment for 2023 estimate or call the IRS and have them move the payment to the correct year. Made the extra payment so I guess I'm ahead of the game in 2024 for a couple months. At least MA allows you to do pass through ELT payments from an S Corp instead of paying estimates to the DOR personally, it's a little easier/smoother.

Don't you know you're a bad person if you can't calculate your withholdings to the exact Dollar owed?

We had to replace our Septic last summer so we are getting the MA tax break for the new install. Though that money is going to pay for the Equity Line we had to take out to pay for the new septic. No fun toys unfortunately

I'll answer your question seriously: spend it on skills rather than goods. So either BJJ or gun training.

For us it varies, sometimes we owe and sometimes we get some back. Whatever we get back goes into the house fund to cover planned improvements.

Thoughts -

1. Marine Magnum or you take the L

2. Great idea!

3. What's the second J stand for and wow, I never knew there was a gym for that!

4. I'd look for a handgun with a little more motivation.


Me, I'm buying a tactical duck

My wife and I have been fortunate that our income has grown quite a bit continuously for the last 3 years, add in that we had a kid as well. Prior to that we were pretty close to 0.

The plan is to do both.

 

[Mark from MA]

We will owe and it might not be good. All that bank interest I earned from 5% cash is likely gonna fund a check back to the gov't.

I need to put together a real estate Ponzi ala Robert Kyosaki.....where I can say "I don't pay taxes because I borrow ....MONEY!" que the Dr. Evil laugh.

I'm going spend an additional 3k getting laid...

The downside is i will be on the recieving end of the sex and the government will be performing it without lube

Sign up for food stamps first so they'll take you out to dinner, at least.

I might get bored and try one day see what happens

 

[MGnoob]

I’ll be spending my tax return on my taxes.

 

[appraiser]

We owe just under $500 dollars, so I am happy I did not give them an interest free loan, and I am paying with inflated dollars

 

[millbilly]

If I get a return, never know because my business is still growing and income fluctuates, it will go towards:
Future ski house down payment fund
Household operating account
22lr PRS setup so I can afford to shoot more
New mountain bike
Climbing gear
Advanced dive course for one of my kids
Etc
