Mine should be much better than usual since it will have my $8000 in Obama money in it and I didn’t get a bonus this year which bumped me to a new bracket last year since I took it deferred in stock options. (At February lows 😃 ) ---

I think you get something like $1750 back correct? No, its always been like that… You cant claim the entire vehicle, just the amount you paid on taxes for it. Normally it only makes a difference if you itemize your deductions, and clear over 5k in expenses. Not entirely sure as to how it will play out this year. I havent heard anything about an extra stimulus for buying an auto this year. ---

Hmmm thats weird… Not saying anyones wrong, but I did this back in 06, and last year with my other jeep. It didnt matter much cause I didnt itemize. Whats odd is, HR block told me about it ---

I played around with a couple of those calculators and it had big bold **$4000+** as my return… until I opened my eyes and saw that it didn’t say that was my return but what I was being taxed on. In tiny teeny letters elsewhere it said I’ll get around $1,800 back. Keep looking around the page. I’m sure that you’re reading it wrong as I did… ---

I just typed a bunch of info into turbo tax, and it looks like $1800 at this point. I have not entered any other deductions, only income. This is quite odd as I usually am dead nuts on for getting like $5 back from them. I guess getting a raise and married messed up all of my calculations from last year. ---

I think i screwed up by not changing my address to ohio when i moved “temporarily” from ny. now i have income from 2 states and preliminary turbo-tax says i’m -800 in ny, +100 in ohio, and +100 fed. normally i’m +1000 fed - wtf? any experts with general advise? ---

This is quite odd as I usually am dead nuts on for getting like $5 back from them. I guess getting a raise and married messed up all of my calculations from last year. Typically does. From what I hear, first year marriage is a bonus, then it becomes a boner. ---

I roughed in mine… getting back about $1k between both Fed & State. Not too bad; better than the $3k I used to get. ---
