ohhhh tax season. how i love thee!!

[purity]

i hate filing. DAMMIT i just remembered a couple seconds ago that i need to file for my taxes.
last year was a blast. i filed around midnight over at hr block completely trashed off vodka/7up. my girlfriend drove me over there and this lady kept asking me lame questions.
"mr soto how much did you spend on advertising?"
"i dunno."
"$500?"
"yeah"
"$3,500?"
"hell yeah!"
all this other crap. somehow i only owed like $75 for the whole year. which was great because the year before i somehow paid $8,000 in taxes :notsure:
what kinda funky write-offs you guys taken? i once wrote off about $12,000 in alcohol in 1999. those were the days that i used to go around gas stations and nab people's reciepts outta the pumps for write-offs too.
anywayz, tax sucks and so does filing.
i should go call an accountant now.

I haven't started my taxes or filed them yet either
Anyone know how bad the penalty is for being late? I really don't want to take a day off of work this week.
Most messed up tax write off I know is renting little kids social security numbers from poor people with lots of kids. I couldn't do it, but know people who do

IRS got me this year. I work two jobs and one of the employers failed to remove any taxes. Luckily I have student loans and the interest is a tax write-off. So they only got me for $50, which considering ain't bad. But I have never had to pay them, they usually end up owing me. Ah the privileges of being American. I only luck out in being in Wyoming where there is no state income tax. Horray for Wyoming.
:hilarious :nervous: :hilarious

too bad there isn't a suicidal smily face, I'd be using it right now. Don't even get me started on taxes! GOD!! I even hate writing about it, so I'm not gonna. Taxes SUCK!!!

:nervous: :nope: I'm looking for an SUV over 3 tons, so I can get that tax break. I've been looking into the Discovery and Ceyanne. The Porsche is a bit much to spend on an SUV, but they Rover is SO SLOW!!! Either which way, I'll be saving LOTZ o $$$!! I forgoet what the exact break is, but it's good. I'll pull up some info for those who would be interested in the same opportunity.

Yep

I find it funny in our so called equitable system that the people that are of the least drain on government services, pay the most and recieve the least.

Actually this year I love tax season, me and my husband went from two incomes and no kids, to one income and 2 kids, we went from paying several hundred in the past years to getting back several thousand this year. Gotta love the child tax credit.

 

[reef_magic]

lol, nice Birdy

 

[lovethesea]

agreed Birdy, nothing like debt on your house and 2 kids.
CHA-CHING!!! actually its our "summer money and do things around the house money"
:yes:

Hey Fishkiller,
How about the Hummer H2? I got to know the owner of the company that put my pool in last year and that is what he bought. I think you get to write the whole thing off in one year? It's insane.
I got hit big this year myself. I do get some nice write offs for my Corporation, but some big deductions I was counting on did not happen. I did not qualify for the child tax credit or get to write off any of the cost of my daughters school/daycare (Thank God for Cafeteria plans) and all my deductions were reduced by a small percentage.
Luckily, I have a great accountant who is an Ex-IRS agent and he always makes it as painless as possible. This year is going to be even worse because I'll probably work the entire year.
I need a beer.

 

[fishkiller]

pooch- YEAH!! I hear ya on that beer (miller light in hand...). Out of all honesty, I hate the H2, but that's me. I love the original hummers, but there's NO WAY I'm driving something that large every day. I would end up in prison. I get nasty road rage. I'd freak out and drive over somebody in traffic one day, especially when I go into Atlanta! Yuo should see this traffic here. I won't even get started.....:nervous: Sorry to hear about you getting screwed this year. My year has been confusing. I need to get on the ball w/ this! The more I talk about it, the more anxious I get.:notsure: I just hope it doesn't hurt me too much. I'm not even getting my boat this year. It really irks me.

 

[fishman830]

how bout an excersion(sp?) my dad had open for awhile.. big beasts.. gas guzzlers to. you almost need a second job to fill it up... almost

 

[cindyski]

we owe every year and FINALLY this year were able to get a few buck back, but my ex-husband screwed me on a child credit from last year so i will most likely have to pay it back.

 

[purity]

i went to h & r block drunk off my ass last night. we made up a bunch of crap and, instead of owing the proposed $8,900....i'm getting $300 back
filing drunk RULES
