I owe the most money I have owed on anything in years to the IRS for income tax. It is really depressing to know what I could be doing with this money but I did have a pretty damn good year financially.

i'm trying to decide between getting:

1) a new laptop to take with me to work, or
2) Koni SA's/Strano springs/LCA relocation brackets/SA LCA's/SA PHB setup

....it's a tough decision....and if i didn't owe my dad some money still, i could possibly get both

I'm hoping to break even on taxes this year. That's what I strive for every year, because that means I've given the IRS just enough and kept MY money.

If I get a descent-sized return, I'll likely put it toward one of these:


Now, my bonus, on the other hand, is going to pay off the last of my credit card debt and whatever is left over is going toward a new torque arm and new rearend.

Haven't done the math yet but any money coming back is going towards....county property tax, twsp. property tax, garbage tax, street light tax, and the rest towards school tax.
