option 3:
don't fuck up with your taxes. honestly, people always seem excited about tax returns. they're one of the things you don't want to happen. it means you overpaid your taxes. yes, you get it back but that basically means you're loaning the gov't your money. and you don't get interest on it. it's better to owe the gov't a little for a while because that's like a loan they gave you, with no interest attatched.

I'm getting $11 back from fed, and I owe $50 to state. I guess I"m doing it right?

Last year I owed $400 dollars because my Step-fathers accountant decided she was going to fuck up my withholdings.

This year I'm looking forward to actually getting money back.

Loka, save it for when you move, most everything you own now will be left behind until you are stationed, and it will take a while to even get it there. I suggest buy your TV once you're there <3.

I got ~5K Back. I kinda use the tax system as a non-interest bearing "savings account" that can't be counted as an asset and one that I can't "touch". .

Actually, I didn't owe the government anything. The government decided to finally pay back people who go to school or the parents who claim you as a dependent and pay for your school. But now you can add textbooks and school expenses to the list, not just the tuition you pay. It's called the American Opportunity Credit. My dad is a CPA and licensed tax preparer. When it comes to my taxes, he's going to try to find areas he can get me money... and damn he did.

Definitely spending little on the money I get. Buying those other things on base.
