anyone elts get a shitty return for the year?

Best return to date actually. $475 back. I usually owe or get little back.

Know what the best part of paying taxes is?
Trick question. There's no good part.

I saw a guy break down all the taxes we pay including gas taxes social security federal state sales etc and his figure was 62% of his earnings! I never thought of it like that. No wonder I don't have any money!

we spend 25x more than the next three countries below us on military alone...... of course they tax the fuck out of us.... then theres political grafts and payoffs...

Not to mention foreign aid. I don't know why we're giving away so much money and we can't even fix our own budget.
Anyone else aware that we recently gave a handful of F16 fighter jets and hundreds of M1 Abrams tanks to Egypt? Muslim brotherhood-controlled Egypt.
The only solution I can see is term limits and a executive-appointed panel to set congress' salary and benefits.

Yeah I saw that and aren't they against israel which is our ally? Or am I mistaken?

i've lost track... on a brighter note..... 1800 back for state and federal

Damn!

I'm expecting over 10k federal+state refund. Having 3 children to claim helps boost that up there!

Sorry didn't mean to kick you while you're down.

Jesus christ. The tax system is messed up bad. Rewarding marriage and reproducing.

Me and the wife are getting just over $4k combined

I call it getting even with the IRS. They gave me shit returns for years until I got married and started claiming the wifes kids.

I only made 23k this year, figure that out. lol

Yeah see I made $36k and got back $475. What's really messed up is anything over $36k gets taxed at 25% and then after like 120k it only goes to 28%.

Don't feel so bad, I paid over $4000 in January! I haven't gotten my 2012 paperwork yet, but I paid close to $30k last year! I hope to get $5k of that back though.

You PAID 30k? Damn bill gates what's your gross?

Got 7 back this year all because of the wife and 2 kids.

Made 36k getting 4k back from state and federal, best I've ever had, usually get around 3 ish back

Got $3k back this year, no wife or kids. Was only getting $300 back, but factor in mortgage deductions, closing costs, property taxes, losses in long term investments, etc. and got an extra $2700.

If you want a bigger return, then change the number of deductions in your paycheck to 0, but if you want a bigger paycheck, but a smaller return then change your deductions to 2.

Before you guys start complaining about high taxes.... remember that we are one of the LEAST taxed citizens in the world.

Lots of other factors go into that, obviously. But it's food for thought.

I already claim 0.

I claim 0 made say 31.5k

All I can say is the government likes me
