What are the top 3 things you would like to use your Income Tax refund(s) for, if you could?
Eg. Wojo:
1) Honeymoon MC Trip to the Alps
2) New Sprint
3) His own room at the Ga.Rally since he replaced Yota.
Me:
1)My own room at Ga. rally so I won't have to room with Yota on the rebound.
2) New Rocket III Classic
3) 46" HD TV with surround sound.

If I was ever to be able to get a refund, I would get more goodies for the BA and the RIIIT. But this year is the same as most, I had to pay a little more. The 300.00 economic stimulus will buy me some more cigars though!!
BA has Freak, 160mains, 44pilots, air mix3 1/2 to 4 turns, BUBS dresser dogs. Never had more fun on any bike - 2nd bike 2008 RIIIT

Are you kidding? It would take them 30 years just to read through it, Another 40 to sort it out and then it would take around 15 to agree on some minor changes.

I paid the feds $359 and I'm getting $444 back from the state. I'd call that a wash.

Well, supposed to get 15 franklins back. The plan is to take the extra cash on our trip to Florida in May, then bring back whatever is left to pay bills. Trouble is, I know how weak I am with "found" money. We're supposed to be on the road for two weeks, but with that kind of cash we could tour up the coast for another week! Same old struggle, be responsible or be happy!

Well I rarely actually have to pay anything by the time I deduct everything I can I either break even or owe just a few bucks. Nice thing about Towing is there are tons of things I can deduct. This year I will even get that extra check from my Uncle Sam that I'll end up paying for.

 I always figured that the more I had to send them on the due date, the better. Cheap b-streds do not pay interest or appreciation if you let THEM hold your money all year. In fact, all they do is inflate it so it is worth less when you get it back. (sorry, I am not bitter about progressive tax, I am not bitter about progressive tax) I have noted that if you send $50 to PBS during their semi-annual beg-a-thon they will send you a really nice coffee cup. If you send MUCH more than that to Uncle Sam, they do not even say thanks.

Maybe the tax man loved me or something this year. I did mine and the number was kind of high, so it took it to a tax place and their number was even higher.. I ended up with a little over 5K in Fed and 1500 in state.. I made a pretty good chunk, and claimed every bit of income form the shop..
Now I am waiting on a call from the IRS lol.

I don't get a refund, in fact I paid much more than I expected. But when I get my economic stimulus check I am gonna donate it to the Wall Street welfare fund to help bail out the federally mandated lending institutions that mistakenly approved adjustable rate mortgages to those who didn't have the brains to know they were getting in way over their heads and are now in danger of losing homes they never had any business buying in the first place... Yeah, yeah. That's the ticket. That's what I'm gonna do. or, I may get something chromed.

More fun!
