[mac5155]

My fiancee got hers about 6 days after e filing. Mine took longer cause of education forms, specifically 8863.

[SolidSnake]

Yea that could be what is holding mine up

[mac5155]

She got hers last Wednesday, I'm still waiting on mine. We filed a few minutes apart

[SolidSnake]

Thats strange. I swore last year my refund came within like 2-3 days after filing

[shmenguin]

it took like 4 days to get my federal return back. my NJ state return is still pending

Ugh.......

My wife makes a fair bit more than I do, like more than 2x. Sitting here going over our docs before sending them off to our preparator, and her total withholdings (federal, state, local) is more than half my gross salary.

She was like, "This isn't enough to make me a Republican but..... holy sh|t!!!"

[relantel]

so... nice marriage penalty on the child tax credit! The difference of that credit versus last year is greater than the amount our refund went down. Add that to the payroll taxes going up at least $100/mo... Greedy government.

Ask her if I could show her something in a libertarian, perhaps.

Man, right now my wife is my sugar momma as well. It's so emasculating.

the ceiling on the child tax credit is x for singe filers, but not 2x for married filers (Its a little under 1.5x). Normally it is $1000 per child credit toward tax owed (as opposed to the way deductions are handled, which reduce taxable income), but it is reduced by $50 for every $1000 above the ceiling. Ours went down from $1800 last year to almost nothing this time.

1) Just because she makes a lot more than me she is not my 'sugar momma'.

and

2) Sack the eff up. There's nothing emasculating about a woman making more money than you. (I could go on with an 'unless' section, but personal attacks are verboten)

It was all very tongue in cheek.

I quit my teaching job last June and went back to grad school full time. My return this year definitely helps...

An interesting tax deductible item:

Rapper Jim Jones is figuring out how to deal with Uncle Sam next month, and he's considering deducting expenses on his income tax for making it rain. Well guess what, in theory he might have a fighting chance of winning.

If you're going to teach, gotta expect it. My situation is more extreme than tif's in terms of salary disparity.

Been working everyday, they seem to like me.

new jersey is asking me to send in copies of all my documents before they take 90 more days to process my refund.

-charges you a zillion dollars in property tax
-acts confused when you're due for a refund

makes sense.
