Just seeing what everyone is doing with theirs. I know alot of people buy things they have been wanting or wait all year just to get tax returns to buy what they have been eyeing for a year.
I got married this past October so we will also be filing joint with Yo Rita we had an estimate done for our taxes and we are getting back quite a bit more than we expected.
I personally just got a 2001.5 VW Passat 30v V6 with a bad oil leak for free that im going to dump some money into to get it reliable and have it be my next project! We are also going to use some for our trip in March to Boston for St. Patty’s day weekend.
I feel you there, I paid about 8k in Federal Tax and about 3k in State Tax and am getting shafted in my return this year because I jumped up a new tax bracket. Made about 10k more then I did last year but getting a comparable return.
Plan on paying off some Credit Cards, Student Loans, and putting money away for a vacation this summer.
