Tax returns are right around the corner. Anyone getting stuff for the Z's

happytheman · 01-12-2012, 06:53 AM

Hmm, I am in need of a set of tires. I look at the tax return as an opportunity to get things I need instead of things I "want". Not that I don't want a set of 285/305's or anything, right? I need 'em!

That's the only way I can save money lol. If the tax season came around and I owed money I would be so screwed. I love getting a fat check and it feels like Xmas.

I just hate giving an interest free loan to the government...

Anyone ever donate a car? I'm curious on how much that will get me in a return? They sold the car for $1500 if that helps. I usually only get about 1k back, but I returned to school and donated the car so I'm hoping to get a little more back.

Most people just have their income plus a savings account, fairly quick to calculate.
It is when you get into investments and other income sources that require more tax work.

Just a guess. None of my finances have changed in a few years.

stells370 · 01-12-2012, 09:42 AM

hopefully a set of wheels depending on what i get back, or possibly gears,clutch/flywheel, and upgraded csc

Tires, sways, and maybe some swift springs.

I'm getting drunk off of Ketel One and going to Foxwoods.

I pay taxes. I have not had a refund check in my hands for twenty plus years. Even $600 Bush money was simply a reduction of what I paid.

If I need to spend money on my Z for something I want, I will. I just can not think of anything worthwhile.

I give it fresh rubber every year so what else could she want?

A few pats on the head and kind words.

tires(before zdayz)

I estimated that I'll get about $2k back. I've been planning a high end stereo for awhile. That money will take a little chunk out of the total.
