>tfw only made 10k total because I barely worked through the year
>tfw only witheld like around 1k worth of taxes
>mfw getting 2.5k literally more than double of witheld
lmao feels good man
I got $1400 over here, user.
I bought some Gunpla, figures, and the Switch version of Civ VI. I'm also debating on buying a baseball jersey. The rest will get stuck in my savings account. Sometimes, being a wagie feels pretty good.
>tfw got 3k in tax returns
>don't play much vidya or have a hobby
what do?
Save it for a nice car or new furniture.
>Gunpla
Come forward with which kits.
Gamestop is having a sale right now on a bunch of collectible shit including a few gunpla. I got an HG Dijeh for $9 and an HG ARX-8 from Full Metal Panic for $18.
There's not a whole lot to choose from, the rest of the on sale gunpla are from Build Divers. There's also a Star Wars B-Wing model on sale if you are into that. The Dijeh is sold out now, but if you want the ARX-8, they are still selling it: gamestop.com
Put it in your savings in case you ever need to cover half an ambulance ride.
Remember to thank your president.
>tfw my tax withheld just went up by $370
fuck government and fuck SOCIETY
>fat white kids get taxes refunded to waste on games
>meanwhile people of color are literally dying without healthcare or foodstamps
I got a $1k+ tax refund and I'm not white.
1k Efund.
based and upvote
EIC fucking skyrocketed this year for me. No idea what daddy Trump did but I like it. I'm getting almost 10k back in a couple days.
Well maybe people of color shouldnt be so poor and stupid?
Lol
why are you always mad at white people?
t. flip leaf.
Take responsibility and fix your life.
AHEM
>Got $72 federal, $444 State
>Gonna use state to pay my rent
>That way I'll have more money coming in and I can buy all the vidya I want
Be smart with your refunds, bros.
Maybe they should work, then they'd have a refund as well
>have a job
>pay into taxes
>get a return
it's not my fault niggers forgot the first two steps
>Only get like $300 from 18 till 28 years old.
>Finally get back into college and now get $1300.
Got a $2000 return because of the American Opportunity credit.
Can't buy vidya with it though, it's all going back to tuition.
lol niggers
Get a job.
and they get penalized for not having healthcare as well, the poor get poorer
>$92k income
Pay your fair share.
I used my tax return to down on a car
>tfw live in Connecticut
>tfw got $400 more than last year
God Bless President Trump
Good, let the niggers and spicks die.
>tfw state without state tax
feels conservative, bros
I'm not white and I get tax returns that I spend on games. kys retard
That's because of Obama.
>not putting $12,618 in 401(k) to qualify for the deduction
Thanks Obama :)
Thanks Democrats :)
I already pay more than my fair share, since you know, the income tax is progressive. It just seems odd there's a limit on deducing income from fucking student loans. Maybe I should have just bought a house and deducted mortgage interest.
itt retards who think that just because the government returned some money that it stole from you for months that you need to immediately spend it
Jesus christ, do you love giving the government interest free loans or something?
>tfw California
Oh thank you government
oh please take my taxes
yessuh masta
help
but that's what the television tells me to do!
no they don't, anyone under a certain income is exempt from the obamacare penalty, and you can easily game the system by claiming a few friends who don't file because they don't have jobs(easy for niggers to find) and filing as head of a household, then the minimum income to be required to have health insurance goes up really high
Every year I use my tax return as my gaming fun money budget. All other money is either saved, invested, or spent on necessities
>Get a mortgage
>Get fucked by the bank
The only winning move is to not play
its crazy to me how so many people think your tax return is free money
A word of advice: leave California. Unless you vote left then stay there.
>tfw afraid to do taxes because I had two jobs in two different states this year and it seems really fucking complicated
You don't get penalized if you're too poor, retard.
>tfw own a corporation in Delaware and report my income there
>tfw have to pay much less taxes this year
feels good man
>get mortgage
>they tell you upfront exactly what you will have to pay and what happens if you don't pay
>you don't pay
>they start proceedings to take your house
>you still have several chances to pay
>still don't pay
>finally foreclose
>wahahaha bank fucked me
>get money
>instant need to waste it
how to spot a perma pleb
why would you treat it any differently from your other money?
What's so complicated about two jobs?
People of color should have built functional societies then.
At least you guys have really low property taxes.
My uncle earn $200k and only work 7 months a year by flipping houses in California.
if you are that retarded than hire someone to do it
>tfw I get nothing because my company withholds the proper amount and I don't have to wait for the government to give me my money back.
Also you shouldn't buy anything. You should save it.
You actually don't have to file any W2's that make you owe back. IRS can't touch you.
It feels like free money psychologically. And there's nothing wrong with that.
>tfw you get to write your gaming PC and your internet bill off as a business expense
>tfw a citizen of great e-country Estonia
>all taxes are done automatically
>get tax return with a click of a button
Why are you guys so happy about tax returns? It's all the same amount of money in the end. If you got money back, that means you overpaid. If you have to pay money, then you didn't pay enough. Is this proof Yea Forums can't manage money?
my federal taxes paid was like 1500, I have two kids so that's about 4k from child credit because I work a low income job, which I can do and live comfortably because I live in a very low cost of living state, and for some reason I got almost 5k from earned income credit, that's like 3 times what it was last year, I was afraid I did something wrong even though I filed with the turbo tax app on my phone, but the irs approved it and their app says it's being deposited in a couple days so idk
It just makes me laugh. All those people who rely on the tax return to pay the necessities.
I got a zero return because I'm not a fucking moron who gave an interest free loan to the government.
If you get audited you'll be fucked unless you can prove that you used internet and PC only for business.
Imagine being a boomer in california that's owned property since the late 70's and you're paying property tax 1/10th of what new buyers are facing because of prop 13
A lot of people ITT are getting tax credit, so they are getting more money than was ever withheld, sometimes over $10,000 more.
Fucking this. Poorfags are mentally handicapped.
Get a better job and stop being a leech to society.
Nothing stopping them from working labor jobs with overtime pay if they can't get an office job.
I made like $15k between two jobs and with some left over from grants for school, and I owed like $200. I feel like I did my taxes wrong. Does that seem weird to anyone else too?
>Get job that requires you to move
>JOKES ON YOU FAGGOT, YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR HOUSE ON THE MARKET FIRST AND THERE'S NO GUARANTEE ANYONE WILL BUY IT
its proof that our education system is fucked. why they dont teach you this at school is beyond me
>inb4 its the parents job
some kids dont have reliable parents they can learn from
Reminder that big tax returns are bad. You're giving an interest-free loan to a government that doesn't deserve your money in the first place.
Just go to H&R Block
I make literally 18000 dollars a year, and now I owe the government 800 dollars
Yeah, fuck you Donald Trump.
What the fuck are you going on about
tfw when you work 50 hours a week and pay 30k in taxes a year to support three NEETs and people still tell you to pay your share
Spent all of mine on anime. Now I'm broke again but I can start saving some of my paychecks from this point on.
i dont get it!!
America in general is retarded about it. Dems have been saying "people have lower tax returns this year because of blumbf!!!" even though the actual amount of tax people are paying has gone down.
I got back over twice what I paid in because I'm poor as shit.
Woaah. Boomers are property-flipping bastards that need to die and are draining the youth and vitality out of every college grad student who needs a house? Nooooo waaaaaaay
You need to click a button? Seems excessive, it's automatic for me.
t. neighbor
If I get audited I'm covered by the fact that I work from home and everything is located in my home office.
you get a tax return if you work. Niggers would get a tax return if they fucking worked
>Poor me. Stupid boomers. I'm just a poor victim.
Pathetic.
>Have a 1200 dollar tax return
>The state I live in is trying to claim 1100 of it
Are you making over $250,000 a year? If not, then no, your taxes aren't going down.
Americans just get a check from the government every year? Is this if you’re on welfare or something?
Literally not true. If you are poor you basically pay nothing for your obamacare
>always use a VPN
>if audited, get a new drive and stick old one in some corner of the garage
Bought an electric car in 2018, got this nice return as a result. Feels good, man.
Don't you have a shuffle-board tournament in Cancun to get too?
DUSTY OLD BONES
FULL OF GREEN DUST
I make 90K a year and my taxes went down. Do you not understand how it works or something?
Seriously, tell me about it
Jokes on you, I don't even pay my taxes.
Nothing. You should keep it around for emergency repairs. Nothing worth buying right now anyway.
How?
>tfw me and my family got completely fucked by the new tax laws and have shit returns compared to last year
t-thanks trump
I do the same thing. In my country it is fine to write them off even if you use them occasionally. Also you phone bill, right? And phone.
>boomers get paid hand over foot doing almost nothing with wealth they earned buying up property when it was cheap, before we were born
>now you live in the time of a labor surplus where your wage isn't nearly enough to meet the cost of living and so unless you want to live with your parents you have to room with strangers in a tiny two bedroom apartment, working full time if you want to have any disposable income at all
the deck is stacked against us and you know it, you work longer for less pay, all women hate you and everything is more expensive
I make about as much as you do and I only pay 20k a year here in burgerland. Then again apparently I owe money instead of getting a refund so maybe you're right.
Either way we socialism won't actually mean raising our taxes, only the taxes of the super wealthy.
save/invest
>tfw using 1.5k tax refund to pay off gacha mistakes
kill me anons I'm too stupid to live
Buy Dragon Quest XI it's $30 on sale.
>tfw tax return is $300 less than last year
That's not very good tro be saying shit on here user. You know the FBI be on here right? And the CIA?
a real doll.
You file your taxes to claim credits and deductions and a lot of poor people will get money back. If you aren't poor you won't get money back unless you fucked up and didn't work with your company to withhold the proper amount you're entitled to.
>socialism won't actually mean raising our taxes, only the taxes of the super wealthy.
Yikes!
I wish I thought of this. So many replies.
Yeah, I wrote off my phone because I had to buy a new one since my job requires the use of shitty apps like Authy.
Put it in a Roth IRA along with 15% of your income, including any employer-matched 401k you might have. The best time to start saving for retirement is yersterday.
>get money
>saves it
how to spot a perma pleb
Dragon Dildos to post on Yea Forums
HOLY FUCK user. I thought I was the only one.
$900 down the drain here and I didn't even get the shit I wanted.
I wasn't the OP I make a bit closer to 100k but same thing
Only if you're poor as dirt. If you made any kind of real money you'll probably end up writing a check to the government instead.
why are you guys paying for taxes? you know you can just identify yourself as aboriginal so you dont have to pay right?
President Trump doesn't care about poor people
I fucking love this image, thank you for posting it user
How do you spend that much money on gachashit?
>electric car
Oregon? I hope it was a Leaf user
let's fuck then commit shinjuu
ye you did.
>Tax bill literally got rid of my main deductions and all articles have to say about is 'just ask your employer for more :)'
Imagine living in a country that didn't kneecap unions and shove propaganda to make you hate anything that benefits the working class
How do I avoid being one of the people that owe the government around tax season? Do I just stay poorfag forever? Or leverage my wealth by having children every couple years?
I'm in PA, and it was a Bolt. Southeast PA has pretty good electric rates and they don't change depending on the time of day, plus there's a decent network of chargers in my area.
Definitely wouldn't drive further than north NJ with this car, though.
Perhaps we can continue this conversation in a private, more intimate setting (while playing gachashit)
>saving money is considered pleb
found the man with the Jewish background.
You don't have accounting classes at your school user? I learned my at High School.
>do people's taxes and charge them stupid prices
>mwf when they owe federal and I don't budge on my fees
These threads just make me realize the poor probably deserve to be poor based on how stupid they are. They just fundamentally do not understand how the world works and have no desire to learn. Just complaining about boomers, banks, corporations, and anything else they can find that they don't understand and intimidates them.
>Unions don't protect me
>Also take my money every month to not protect me
>Only ever protects the douchebag that doesn't do his job
Saving...bad....!
Spending...Good!
Debt...good, builds your credit score!
mine's only $430 since i only worked for 2.5 months last year
>lives in a shitty state where he has to pay state taxes
lmaoing at you
>Made 17K
>Only taxed like 500 something
>Find out I got undertaxed and actually owe the IRS money
Fuck everything
Truly the best timeline
probably some illegal spic/ they're always going on about how "America is terrible" even though they entirely depend on America to even live
Jokes on you, the reason I don't pay my taxes is because I don't make enough money to have to.
sorry user I'm just coping with my incredibly mediocre life
>tfw FINALLY not fucking penalized 800 dollars for not having health insurance this year
FUCKING THANK YOU TRUMP
And FUCK YOU Obama.
Imagine getting over 90% of your generated capital taken from you, and defending the people who do it.
He paid exactly as much taxes as he owed. He's smart. Getting a tax refund is basically letting the government borrow your money.
Bernie 2020
Same. There's no reason to give the government an interest-free loan
>tfw don't earn enough money to get taxed
>not having basic health insurance
what the fuck is wrong with you?
Well if you want to make your life less mediocre you can save your money and use it to make money. Choice is yours though free country.
I'm not paying 200 dollars a month for something I don't fucking need. I'm 27 and healthy as a mule.
FUCK off for being forced to have healthcare and actually being fucking penalized for choosing to NOT have it
Jokes on you. I always go to the VITA center.
What kind of meme is tax refund? Can someone explain it to non american?
Well teach us, zaddy.
So he's basically unemployed and doesn't earn any income that the govt can tax is what you're saying...?
That, or he's an illegal and makes all his money doing under the table shit.
There is literally no reason to buy health insurance unless you're unhealthy or don't wanna gamble being unlucky as fuck. The deductibles and premiums are so high, it's cheaper to pay out of pocket
You definitely did it wrong, you should have had most if not all of your taxes withheld from you given back
I'm pretty sure that penalty still exists
Imagine being this fucking stupid that you someone misconstrue someone saying they know how to withhold their taxes correctly as trashing America. Kill yourself you inbred piece of trash, you are a drain on US society.
>doing what Barry Soetero tells me to do
Nah he and you can get fucked by Michael.
Obama-care is literally worse than not having health insurance.
How much did the car cost?
either you're lying or you lied about something on a previous return and they caught you
first year getting penalized for me. i really dont need to waste money on shit i dont need and if i get sick i can go to my dad for free
Jokes on you I also I enjoy telling poor people to go elsewhere
Obamacare was a joint bill between republicans and Obama meant to offset the rising cost of healthcare due to people like you not having insurance and flaking on hospital payments. Also taxes will actually be much higher in eight years as a part of the new tax bill Trump put in place.
I'm not even a never Trumper, I just can't stand anyone who gives thanks to anyone in government.
Companies prey upon people's addiction, but no one ever points it out because said companies pay off the media to keep silent about it.
Where my head of household bros at?
>healthcare
>something I don't fucking need
The ABSOLUTE STATE of americans
>first year getting penalized
And last. You do know 2018 was the last year of the mandate, right. And also why would you be stupid enough to tell the IRS the truth, they don't actually check.
>because my company
What you are withheld depends on what is on your w-2 form. You're the one who's supposed to decide how much is withheld, not your company. It probably happened by complete accident.
Kill yourself, jew apologist
I would rather just pay a hospital bill if I ever get sick than pay deductibles for insurance that I'll never use
>tax refund
non- yankee here... what is that??
>Breaks leg and then has to pay $400 out of pocket
user, you can get a job that offers insurance and only have $50 or less taken out of your paycheck each pay period.
Don't spend money you don't have, save money as a kid as you can easily save 10k+ a year living with parents, buy a non worthless education.
A penny saved is a government oversight.
Why do people do their taxes so early?
I don't file them until the end of March.
health insurance =/= health care
I want to move for New Hampshire for this but I have no idea what kind of job I'd go for out there.
>tfw $2,500 tax return from Feds
>tfw $3,300 taxes owed to state
Who do I eat?
In America if you pay taxes then at the end of the year you get paid back all the tax money you paid :)
You know how in Europe the government gives you monthly gibs? Here the government gibs come out once a year and is called tax credit.
>insurance
>healthcare
I was hoping the government shutdown would continue, which would also slow down tax returns and getting in early would've mattered more.
Remember to vote for sanders so your taxes go to important things instead of jew wars ultimately lowering total cost of living
>gib money to the goverment
>hehe good goyim
>get it back later
>haha yes, free money, thanks obama!
yeah, I just pay out of pocket. Rather actually get the shit I need then fuck around with tthis janked system
I made 20k working part time and got 2k refunded. Just pay someone to do your taxes.
>Obamacare was a joint bill
How exactly do you call it a joint bill when not a single Republican Congressman voted for it?
Word up
Yoshisaur Muchakoopas is my name
And imma tell you how I beat the IRS at their own game
I lied on my tax form cause I just don’t give a fuck
Now I’m practically swimming around in big bucks
I got 12 million dollars in my attic undeclared
And I got another million more right under my stairs
I do my business deals under cover of the night
So I can hide the cash away from Uncle Sam without a fight
I take advantage of every loophole, even ones that don’t apply
It’s been 20 years, still haven’t been caught in a lie
I claimed Baby Mario as a dependent even though he ain’t my kid
And made up charity work I never even did
I must have cheated on my tax forms at least a hundred times
So many clever tricks I can’t fit them all into rhymes
Yoshi is my name, money laundering is my game
And committing tax fraud is worth every single dime
I’m a tax dodging badass, I don’t play by the rules
I make the government look like a bunch of damn fools
I keep 99 cents of every dollar that I make
Nothing makes me cum faster than a good old tax break
I hate paying taxes if there’s anything I hate
I supported Ron Paul back in 2008
You might think it’s unfair that I don’t have to pay
But it’s okay, because taxation is theft anyway
Word to your mother!
Peace out, yo!
Some places offer refund advances and other bullshit but only near the start
>w-2
sorry i mean W-4
Pay debts first then buy a 2080ti
The Us government taxes a set percentage of your paycheck based on your projected yearly outcome. At the beginning of the year you must file the taxes taken out with IRS. If what was taken in taxes is over what you actually owed you get the difference back.
>implying
>paying someone to lie about your taxes for increased returns so you can get buttfucked next year by the IRS
Nah.
Yes, give your money to the poor minorities. Without you white people, they would not be suffering and the world would be free of homophobia, racism, sexism, and biggotry.
>buy a non worthless education
If you were as smart as you say you are you would advise people to take up a trade.
Look what you did
If you're getting a refund, you want your money as soon as possible.
If you're owing taxes, you want to pay right til the end of the deadline.
>get it back later
And it's not automatic either. You need to apply for it and need to prove with complex forms and rulesets that you did indeed get taxed too much. And if you forget any possible deductions, well, then you just lost money.
>To retarded to do taxes regularly
>To retarded to figure out turbotax as well
Please someone..teach me how to adult
work is gonna suck on the 15th
Because nobody knew how long the shut down was gonna be.
>Yes, give your money to the poor minorities
There are more whites on welfare than minorities and the poorest states are mostly red. So, what the fuck are you going on about?
>You need to apply for it and need to prove with complex forms
1040 is literally one page long you retarded faggot.
Yes they are you fucking idiot, I make $15/hour and have lower taxes every paycheck compared to 2017.
uhhuh...
like true socialism :)
Im non-European also.
I still haven't gotten mine yet. I'm kind of worried.
I'd say learning a trade ain't worthless desu
Wow, thanks for your omega mind advice rich man, how much of daddy's money did it take to come to the most basic of financial advice? Tell me to get a credit card next to build credit
I'm afraid to do mine. Not sure how the changes affected me. I've only ever gotten a few hundred back so kinds worried I'll owe and I don't really have any money saved
Unless you have some contracting job or your own business, it's literally just moving numbers from your W-2 to whatever tax program you're using.
No? Who fucking educated you?
Ex: i make 20k and owe 5k. If i paid 5k in total throughout the year then im good. If i paid 8k throughout the year, i gave drumpf a 3k loan for free.
Naturally, it's just good business to not give it no interest loans even if it's 100% guaranteed repayment.
Nigger literally just type in the shit on your W2 and check the boxes.
>There are more whites on welfare than minorities and the poorest states are mostly red. So, what the fuck are you going on about?
Now try using percentages, not absolute numbers.
Is he right Yea Forums?
