Tax return

I want to know what you guys think about tax time. I love it im getting about 20-22% back of what I made this year.... I feel ******* great for this short time of the year!

What do you expect to get this year for taxes. Just curious.

I hope to either receive very little or pay very very little by the end of the year. Just means I've maximized my income throughout the year instead of waiting 12 months to get it back

Ya I have it so they take like the most possible and I have a child. I make under 20k a year so when I get that chunk of change back it really helps. And now with this money im thinking of moving out of pops house instead of going all out on mods! I never thought five years ago that id be 20 having 2 cars, a kid, and being able to live on my own. ( O and Daddy doesnt pay for a dime of my bills )

I do the exact same thing. I would rather have more money through out the year vs one lump check once a year.

When i was deployed i got a really nice returns. because according to the government you didnt make anything. look on your w2's. i dont rember what my income was but it was little to nothing. but in reality i made over 50k deployed.
