What are you getting back from the IRS? I think most people here have jobs that make over a few grand a year so most of us should be getting returns! Hopefully nobody is ending up having to pay anything extra...

Suppooooosedly I'm getting about 700 bones back, which is pretty terrible, but I'm still pretty excited.
I am torn on what to spend it on because I really hate spending extra money on things that my week to week paychecks go to.
I have like $300 in student loans to pay and then about $700 left on a loan for my alto sax, but if I pay off the sax in the next 2 months I get like 100 bucks off, so I'm leaning towards that. THOUGH I sure would like to not have to worry about my student loans anymore.


I'm a little ignorant when it comes to foreign government btw, are there similar systems outside the US?

A little over $1100, which is nice.  I'm using that and one paycheck to both pay off a car and get a shiny PS3.

your tax system is really weird. down here you usually get back a bit the first time you do it, and every time after you get like $50 or something max. unless you've changed something major

You automatically get money deducted from every paycheck and at the end of the year you get a summary called a w2, which you use to tally up how much you made and how much of that money that was your paychecks you're eligible to get back. Sometimes you may have had too little taken out and you'll owe the IRS money. Its a convoluted maze of deductions and penalties and whatnot.

no man i am a salaried employee at a programming company. but a lot of my return is from my student loans; i get back 100% of the interest paid on my federal loans.
