Have you done your taxes yet?

I've had some friends who are getting quite surprised.  They're owing more instead of breaking even.  Makes me dread doing them!

Re: Have you done your taxes yet?

  • It always makes me nervous to see those final numbers. I never know what to expect. But no, our taxes are not done.
  • We owed last year and got a refund this year.
  • Yes! I was feeling anxious about whether we would owe or get some back b/c last year was kind of funky - DH was unemployed all but 1 month and I had decreased my witholdings since we had a large refund last year. I wanted to find out so we could plan our expenses accordingly if we owed. We still ended up getting some $ back. We e-filed and the estimated date for our fed. refund is Feb. 12. Who knows when we'll see the state refund, they held onto them forever last year.
  • Not yet.

    I want to get it over with, so we'll probably do it in the next 2 or 3 weeks.

    Every time I think about it, I hear the theme song to Jaws.

    Last year we owed... a lot :(.

  • I think we might try to do them this week.  I'm anxious to see what's going to happen.  We sold some stock this year, so I don't know if we'll get a refund like we did last year.
  • Not yet...I'm still waiting on 1 of my W2's because I had 3 jobs last year.  I'm going to give it another week then call and ask about it.  I want to get it done.  This is our first joint file.

  • Nope. I dread them every year because I have to pay...and I refuse to pay until April 15th. LOL

  • I'll finish them up tonight; everything is already done except listing our donations. I've been lazy & haven't added up all our donations from the past year. I kept putting it off this weekend. As of right now, it looks like we'll get back just about the same amount as we did last year.
  • we've done a test run, we owe.

    this is the norm since we've been married.

    we miss being single and getting money back.

    this year, we're going to have a professional tell us what else we can do so that we don't owe next year. 

     

     

  • We just got dh's W2's TODAY!  I'm scared!  Very scared.

    Maybe you have a more complex situation, but have you tried this to help determine how much extra to withhold?

  • I think we are just waiting on a 1099 from one of DH's off duty jobs. Once we get it, we're good to go.

  • Taxes are done and refund should be in my account by next week. I have already filled out the FAFSA for my son and myself also. But I will admit I am one of those wierd people who finishes x-mas shopping in October. My DH says I am the " Bree Van DeKamp" of Jamestown..lol...sorry

  • Not yet.  I hate doing them b.c I get frustrated b.c I HAVE TO DO THEM.  Dh is like well I don't know how - follow the effing directions.  GRRRR.  I hate getting frazzled by something so stupid, b.c no matter what I do we owe or there was a mistake and we got an overpayment or some sh!t like that.

  • we have ours done and we owe.  "making work pay" screwed us big time.

  • We are both waiting on our 1098-T forms from our respective schools. I have no idea how things will wind up for us this year, because I was in school and had a fellowship, and DH worked half the year and was in school half the year. With what we've entered so far it looks like we'll get a little bit of money back, but I don't know how that will change once we get these last forms.
  • No, I think we are waiting on at least one more document (maybe two).

  • So far, what we have figured we are getting a little back :).  Looks like Obama's change mid-year with taxes might have a bunch of people screwed.  We'll see.
  • I did ours... just waiting on my W-2 from short term disability.  We are getting A LOT back.  So exciting.  We will be credit card debt FREE when we get our refund!!
