Tax refund

[JigMe]

Anyone received their refund back yet? I filed back in March 2nd, and still waiting for my money so I can buy more fishing stuff... ;D

[SDoolittle]

I filed 2008 and 2009 this year because I was deployed last year. I've already received the 2009 return, but still waiting on 2008.

A refund isn't the same as a return.  You file a return, you receive a refund.

Yet another of my 1001 pet peeves.

Other things that set me off.

Incorrect usage of -ant and -ate (dominant/dominate used interchangeably).

Incorrect usage of moot (most typically expressed as 'mute').

I filed mine in February and received my refund no more than a week later.

Time to put a Minn Kota 101 or their 4hp electric outboard on that new Stratos so you can fly around Lake X.

LOL Burley. Aren't there more important things for you to be worried about?

[RickG NVA]

Better to owe than to get a refund.  Owing only means you have not paid enough withholding or quarterly estimates, but have been able to earn some interest before filing.  The IRS does not pay any interest on monies paid up front in the form of your weekly withholding.

Ideally one should owe a few bucks. Being self employed, I not only owe tax but the whole 15% self employment tax as well. That is a killer. >

You can do a deduction on your 15% self employment tax. 50% of it.

What refund? Haven't seen one of those in years. most of my earnings are 1009-misc so that is something I seldom see.

I do that. But remember, I'm only deducting that 50% of the tax from my total income. All I'm really saving is the income tax on 50% of the self employment tax, not 50% of the tax itself.  Its a gotcha.
