Not sure how many of you have prepared to get your taxes done. I found out today that I'm going to have to pay in $850 or so. Just curious at how (un)lucky some of you other Tacoma members may be.

There goes my lift and new gun:sosad::disappoin

... I'm going to have to pay in $850 or so. ...:sosad::disappoin

I WISH I was only paying $850. Last year it was over $13k. This is what happens when you have a side business.

 

[Rodge]

I squeaked by with the IRS paying me about 200$. I've made almost 10K more than I did last year. I have a bad feeling I'll be owing this year. :sosad:

 

[eyedoc]

OH my.... I don't want to even think about it. I could buy a couple of trucks with it.... what kind of truck, i'd rather not disclose.... it makes me sad.. :sosad:

 

[Eddie 70]

I have already paid in more than enough this year. I should be getting back from the government.

 

[mhadden]

That's what I thought before I got whalloped with a $850 bill from Uncle Sam. Dammit.
:lol:

 

[Jredneck480]

hopefully ill get enough to pay off the tires on my credit card

 

[10SE]

My wife and I have owed each of the last three years. I see no reason to believe that will change this year. :disappoin

 

[amp2oo1]

Since last year was my first year in the real world with a real salary I have no idea what I'll get back. My plan is to save it and put toward a house/townhouse downpayment, but I have a feeling I may end up with some new toys for the truck:naughty:

 

[toku58]

Last year I had the bad luck of getting about $6K. I'm hoping that this year I can get lucky and owe a few hundred? We'll have to see?

How is getting $6k back bad luck?

 

[toyomoho]

I always end up paying the IRS, no sense loaning the feds my money.

 

[toku58]

How is getting $6k back bad luck?

It's like lending the gov't $6K interest free for a year!! I would rather Have an interest free loan from them for a year!!
If you know anything about Taxes you know the you should always strive to get close to zero as possible!
I know I don't want to owe them large amounts of money for 3yrs in a row. They will audit you fo sho!!
They don't like lending you money interest free either!!

 

[LQQKatmy06]

I'm self employed so I write off everything I can and usually come out not owing. This year includes a '06 Taco.:clap:

 

[mhadden]

Gotta love business writeoffs:clap: My father in law just bought an 07 Avalanche for his photography business.

 

[rpmspeedyBlue]

I get back about $7k. No matter what you do the Feds are going to get something out of you one way or another. It's either pay now or pay later type of thing. I'd rather get money back and use it for a down payment on a car.

ya I know you should strive to get close to breaking even... I guess I just didnt think about getting a $6k check as "bad luck", maybe more on the side of poor planning

 

[TacoMSU]

I'm getting about $200 back this year. That will allow me to get new tires, black headlights, Stubbs sliders, and window tint at the same time.

 

[zmtnbik]

For 2005, I had to pay over 4k.
I'm hoping I don't have to pay nearly as much in 2006, since I bought a house and created an LLC. I should have plenty of write-offs this time around.

Depending on how much I get back will dictate how much damage I can do to the truck:
Lift
Rims/tires
DVD/stereo

Yeah since the purchase of my new house and all the tax write offs I need to increase what we are claiming. My wife's no help she is resistant to changing here exemptions. She only claims 2 when she should be claiming about 5 or 6. :dunno:
Oh well what you gonna do? You can't tell a women what to do???:disappoin
