I broke down and did my taxes today. Well, I did my Federal taxes. The state ones, I’m still in denial about…or maybe I’m just too darn lazy to do them.
For the first time since I started working…I’m getting money back!!!.
Yeah, it’s only about $400, but that is a buncha money to a dirt broke chica like me. Maybe, if I’m lucky…I’ll get money back from the state too and manage to buy a new computer…or pay off a credit card, which would be the smart thing to do and is what I’ll probably do. 
Congrats!
Haven’t done my taxes yet… for that matter I haven’t done them for last year yet, either! Note to self: get on that soon!
I’m getting $300 (exactly) back from federal–and owe $4 to the state. I haven’t decided yet what to do with the $300. Any suggestions?
Porno.

I’m getting $289 back from the federal, and around $200 for state. I had to put it towards paying my mom back for my car. I think I only owe her another $50 or so, and then my debt with her is paid…
For those of you with unexpected refunds or who don’t know what to do with your refund may I suggest contributing to the “How is Pluto ever going to pay his taxes by the 16th” Fund.

There is no limit on giving. AND your contributions are tax-deductible. (I know I’m going to deduct them from the amount I pay of my own money!) Thanks in advance.
I’m getting around $13,500 back from the IRS! For 2000 I was paid in the US, but lived, worked, and paid taxes in the UK. The two countries have an agreement to prevent double taxation so when I file the US taxes I claim back ALL the taxes that got deducted. I’ve already paid slightly more than this amount to the UK taxman, so I’m not really gaining anything.
filing tomorrow. Spent it already - new p4 box. Sometimes living in an outrageously taxed area helps. Any politician with a tax plan that touches my mortgage interest and local tax deduction will soon be beseeching me for the sweet release of death.
Had to pay for the first time this year. Damnable marriage penalty. We wrote a check for $770 about a week ago. I’m still pissed. Just last year my wife, then my fiancee, and I got back around $2000. Now this.

Put me in the Tommy the Cat club. Mrs. O and I got some $1500 back for 1999 (got married Oct of that year), and got socked to the tune of $860 federal, $150 state for 2000. If pluto hadn’t beaten me to it, I’d have done the “Help Olentzero Pay His Taxes” fund idea… damn clever bastards we got here these days.
runs sobbing from the thread
Get this… I’m getting ELEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS back from the federal govt. No state income tax here.
That by getting money BACK from the IRS, that you’ve, in fact, been giving the government free use of YOUR money for the past year. If you had that money in your bank account, (and some self-control, which I certainly lack!!) you could’ve invested it and gained some income from it working for you! The gov’t isn’t paying you INTEREST on the LOAN you’ve given them, are they?
I know, this is a thread-killer, and many of you already know this info. But, I couldn’t resist!
I double checked my mental figuring last night and filled in my second copy, (done in ink, the one I send in)… No errors. Apparently I can still add, subtract and occasionally multiply–yay me! I owe $76 to the Feds, but I do get money back from the State of Michigan:
$1
And no, I’m not going to apply it to next year’s return, I want my dollar back! 
mrblue92, if you indeed get that dollar back, I’d have it laminated, framed, and hung on your wall with some caption about getting blood from a turnip.
