  6. No clue. Filed an extension as usual. I never have time to get to this stuff until the summer. My "tax time" is always July or August when I can take my time getting it all together.

  7. My father used to say, "If you are getting a refund, you've let the IRS use your money interest free for a year." So I always pay. Fortunately not much.

  10. Never a refund. We always owe & Pay by installment. We pay our share, but never one minute before we have too. I work harder for my money than the government does and have the right to spend in on my family first.

  25. Refund city. Into savings it went.

    I know what people say about not letting the IRS use money interest free for a year, but I'd much rather get a refund than owe. Things are tight enough without needing to scrape up to pay a tax bill of unknown size. Take it from me, month by month, in little bits that I won't miss. We'll settle the bill come Feb.

    1. @Snapdragon. Boy do I agree with that. I always withhold S-0 or S-1 (once I had a kid,) because I'm not going to save the money and that mythical interest that everyone thinks you're going to get from investing just isn't worth having to scramble to pay them when the time comes.

  26. We relocated from a province with some of the highest taxes in the country (Manitoba), to the one with the lowest (Alberta) in December. Our refunds were so big my husband was re-did our taxes about 5 times before he sent it in.

    We always try to maximize our RRSP contributions so we get a few grand back every year.

    It's sitting in the bank waiting to help pay for our trip home to the East Coast - airfare is absolutely ridiculous!

  27. Extension, but will probably owe this year. :(

    ReplyDelete
  28. Haven't done mine yet...I should probably get on that! *L* I usually get 5 or 6 bucks back - but I'll take it over having to pay!

    I fill out my tax information correctly so I neither pay nor owe. It's pretty nice.

  42. I'm self-employed, so I ALWAYS have to pay. Makes sense, I guess, since I didn't pay anything all year. The best part is all the deductions I get from being self-employed. I pay SO much less tax that way!

    ReplyDelete
  43. What is a "refund"? I've never gotten one. I'm paying enough in taxes to support a family of six in high style.
