It's that time of the year again. The time when we fill out a lot of paper work and hopefully get some of the money that we've paid the government over the last year back.

I just got my W2 today and filed my return online about an hour ago. I'm at least getting more than I did last year.

Anyone else file yet?

Can we get the chemicals in. 'Cause anything's better than this.

    Thanks to having a father who is an accountant, I will be getting a tax refund of a little over $3000.

    I'm think about not filing taxes this year, but if the IRS can catch Blade, then they can catch anybody, and I get scared.

    Hopefully, I won't have a repeat of last year, where I had to pay over $1000 in taxes

    You have until April to do it. But you can do it anytime you get your W2.

    How? I'm getting only 10% of that. D:

    Do you make a ton or do you have them deduct a lot over the year?

    My parents were accountants too, so they also do my taxes immediately.

    I have heard that getting more than $1100 or so back is wasteful. Your deductions were too high and you could have better invested the other monies.

    Man, I don't know what to do about my taxes. I'm on a fellowship that doesn't get the taxes taken out beforehand, but I was on payroll for two months over the summer working two jobs for the university, so they took out much more taxes than I actually owe in the end. Plus, I spent ~$1500 on dental care, and I think I can use this as a deduction but I frankly don't know how. I might be screwed, and I might be in great shape. I just don't know.
