Did mine via Turbo Tax saturday. According to the IRS website, all the tax software co's only do them for free if your AGI is under $56k. Ours was over that but it wound up still being free. Dunno how that worked.
Taxes are DONE!

I didn't lose anything. It's like have a savings account that I don't have to worry about; and then when the time comes I invest it how I see fit. I feel I have a better chance of holding onto a large chunk and putting it away rather then an extra $660 a month I would probably just waste on frivilous shit. But I understand your thought, it's just a matter of opinion.:rolling:

I owe the IRS like $1700 this year. Bah.
Man, that sucks
Man, that sucks
Sure does. Since I got divorced in 2008, I have to file the entire year as single even though my deductions were based on being married for the first half of the year. :bash:
I am going to get around 11k back this year... 7500 of it is the first time home buyers tax credit... if anyone of you bought a house between april and now I strongly urge that you take a look at this... its one hell of a deal.
Are you nuts? I'm getting everything back I paid in less about $400. You tell me how that's NOT a good thing?
Yea getting $8,000 wired to my checking account really blows.
Send me some of your bad luck:rollseyes
You do realize that those 8,000 bux were yours to begin with, and should NOT have been witheld from you in the first place. This means you gave Uncle Sam an 8,000 dollar loan for free all this time.
People like you think that this is a gift from the goverment for being you...nah son this was ur own money that should've stayed in your pocket all this time, yet for some reason or another it was take out of your income.
Hey, give me 100 grand right now and I'll give it back to you a year from now in the same exact amount. By ur thinking, in february 2010 u'll think ur getting a $100,000 gift from me...
I will owe some this year. I prefer to take more deductions and put the extra money into a high interest savings account. Makes no sense to give the government an interest free loan...
I got major Fed this year. I claimed 0 and paid $30.00 a week extra into federal and still have to pay in $4,603.00.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY!!!
HIGHWAY ROBBERY!!!
Any idea if they are still doing this?
I am going to be buying a house in the next 6-8 months
Thanks
:beer:
Serious? I used Turbo Tax and that wasn't referred to me. Also, I was claimed as a dependent last year..
if you buy in the next 6 months your out of luck... I think your closing date has to be by june 2009 to qualify for it. You apply for it when you do your taxes. Turbo tax pretty much does it all for you.
You just lent the IRS $8000 TAX FREE/INTEREST FREE and thats NOT a good thing!!! Try oweing the IRS money and they will tax the hell out of it and will throw interest on it if not paid. What bank will loan money to someone and not charge interest, not one??Are you nuts? I'm getting everything back I paid in less about $400. You tell me how that's NOT a good thing?
Yea getting $8,000 wired to my checking account really blows.
So technically you are NUTS for getting that much back. I try and get close to $0 back every year. This year I got $200 back. :banana:
Damn! It has to be closed on by July 1st :cuss: That sucks, is there any word on them extending it for the 2009 tax season?? Or coming up with a new tax credit for first time buyers???
Also, say there are two first time buyers purchasing the house, do you both qualify for the $7500 tax credit or does just one of the buyers qualify?
