Tax Return: What are you going to do with it?

[Sabz5150]

Dot com. Under Clinton, working in Manhattan and living in CT I was taxed at 42% when I left the area. Ultimately, I've been a consultant (1099) for 10 years. Taxes are a pain in the ass. So I did them quarterly. When I moved out of the area, I never paid any mind to the 1099 that came in from Kommander Klinton, and I owed $30,000 before I knew it. I have about $6000 left to pay between state and federal. And NY won't give me the $1000 or so it owes me for the past 7 years (They at one time owed me $8000 that I required a lawyer to get... and he promptly ate it all)

Now I'm W2, in an educational institution and lovin it.

During the dot-com, I was ROLLING in cash. Hell, there's a time my buddies and I call the "year-long party" because that's exactly what it was.

A republican governor and a republican president later... that all went bye-bye.

Depends on how you play the game.

It was a few years of owed taxes to a faceless NY IRS / Federal IRS. OF course I made no headway.

It was a Democrat President that caused the dot com crash. Blame Bush.

No, it was a dumbfuck republican governor who thought it would be such a wonderful idea to stop the "car tax" (gotta love the Right's new definitions for things). He ran on that platform. Got voted in too.

What ended up happening is the state quickly found out that it lost a HUGE revenue stream and had to cut somewhere around 45% of its ENTIRE WORK FORCE. Tech jobs took the biggest hit.

Funny thing is, the "car tax" is still around.

Letting republicans fuck with money is like giving an 8 year old a Platinum card. Only bad things happen. They're good at carpet bombing, not much else.

And didn't the dot-com crash happen in March 2000? Who was our glorious leader then? Regardless, it was an overhyped concept that killed the dot-com boom, not a president.

Blame Clinton, it's what the Right does best!

EDIT: I refer to my state when I talk about the governor and the employment. Most notably, he got booted out so friggin hard it wasn't even funny.

so it had nothing to do with the overinflated prices of tech stocks that had no basis in real world profits?

My god, I only wish you could take a step back and see what you write.

You're completely out of your mind.

back on topic.......

since i haven't done my taxes yet, i have no idea how much if any i'm getting back. thus, i can't say what i will be doing with it.

havent done mine yet either so i also do not know how much i will be getting back.... although i can say what i will be doing with it

i am going to get it all cashed into $1 bills... i will then spread those $1 bills all over the floor..... then i will proced to masturbate all over those $1 bills.... then i will stuff all of that into a grocery bag and place that in the corner of my room for a few weeks.... then im going to go to the bank and change those $1 bills in for larger bills... then those sperm covered dollar bills will circulate around the country... in a few months all of you sons of bitches will have touched dollar bills tainted with my man juice....

I'll have about a $6K tax check, plus another $3K's from work for vacation and sick pay...

 

[Capt. Orygun]

ok, well all your tax dollars are going for your holy war...
have fun with that bill
your 5th generation might start paying off some principal

Holy war? At worst its a war to preserve the American economy by securing more favorable energy trade. Holy War? You've been spent to much time spinning on the left hand side of the turn table my friend

Bottom line is if the government didn't shell out millions of $ to Americans who have no real need for it maybe we could feed and clothe our lower 5%, or pay for our wars in full. It's no different then the MILLIONS of dollars that were given out in aid in the south after Katrina that could be traced back to weapons, pornography and drug/ alcohol abuse.

I'm not saying they didn't need assistance, but we obviously fucked that one up if people are spending "relief money" on hustler and air jordans. Meanwhile my step brother knocks up his GF, collects unempolyment for 6 months, and gets $3,600 back last year. I worked 3 jobs/ 75 hrs a week (and one was the military), I owed $93 last year. Fuck that!

and for the person who blamed the 2001 recession on Bush: Major economic change in ANY direction can only be seen after a couple years of policy. Bush was given the controls of a plane in a nose dive. But since then things economically have looked pretty fair

small govt FTMFW

 

[B16RacerN2NR]

BTW: Fuck all you people who knocked someone up/got knocked up and will get back $3,000 this year when you only worked 6-8 months... seriously... fuck you :die:

but that really doesn't apply to me since i've never been without a job since I was 18, i'm 23 now. I worked that whole year so fuck you My son was born on Dec. 31st 2005 and I still got to claim him for my 05 tax return woot!!!!

This year I don't know exactly how much i'm getting back but I will be paying off ALL my credit cards, painting my house, putting granite counter tops in the kitchen, and putting tile, a stand up shower, a jaccuzzi tub, and his & her sinks along with a new vanity for my master bathroom... this shit is gonna rock... woo hoo!!!! oh and if I got some money left I will be putting sod/grass in my backyard.

 

[jamesA]

Depends on if I get anything back... at all.

If it's a considerable amount, I'll be putting it in an IRA or something of hte such.

 

[Celerity]

Until you get a house, I wouldn't put it in anything that has a penalty for withdrawal.

 

[jamesA]

Who me?

 

[Celerity]

Yeah, just maintain it in an account. I understand that you are readying to buy a house. So if it's locked away in something that will charge you and arm and a leg to get it out, then you're just lining up for it.

Just an opinion, I don't know if you want my opinion out of context.

 

[jamesA]

Nah it's fine. It'll be money that is there, yet isn't there. Kind of like my savings account.

Which reminds me, can I borrow 9500 that is tax, repayment and interest free, Cel?

 

[Celerity]

No, that money is earmarked for Ford Motor Co.
