Damn, what a check! So I got my income tax refund/return check today from the Department of Treasury from teh State of New Jersey today... I must say damn, what a check! A whopping $6.00 is all I got... SIX FUCKING DOLLARS. It costed me $90+ to file it. How nice...
Thats a good thing right? You weren't one of the stupid ppl that filed their taxes wrong and had to wait for the government to pay you back the money they didn't deserve in the first place.
True, I never understood why people want a huge return. All that means is that you overpaid and gave the government YOUR money all year to earn interest on when you could have done the same yourself.
I didn't have much to claim in 1099's etc....so it was $30 for federal, $30 for nj ---and i paid $58 to file -- I consider myself lucky -- I agree with not getting a large return, I rather just have it all year long.
I am getting about $350.00 back... would have been around a thousand but I had a few bonds sitting around that I needed to cash in... and low and behold that is "untaxed income" at the point of cashing them. Oh well.
