Have you received your tax refund?


Does it seem to be taking longer than prevous years, to receive your refund? Seems to be some kinks in the system delaying refunds.

Wait a second. DUmmies work?

My cousins girlfriend got the earned income credit. 5,000 dollars. She had two kids, works full time at walmart, and gets a EBT card worth 400 bucks a month.

A lot of people work just enough to file and get their EITC without interfering with their welfare.

So ... $25K/year tax free? Is she getting subsidized housing? Daycare (or after-school-care)? In what part of the country?

Not picking a fight, just interested in how the bennies can stack up and the annualized $$ + in-kind "income". But kudos to her for working. I'm sure her "income" is lower than it would be if she were on government programs only. And even working retail or fast food advancement is possible.

She lives in Chicago. She pays 900 dollars for a small two bedroom apartment. 2 kids. One teen and one in jr high.

My cousin tells me all this. She makes 14 bucks an hour as manager. She wants to quit walmart because she claims the customer are mean to her. Trust me she is very lazy. She would rather go back to school and not work or back full time on the dole.

does she feel it is her responsibility to repay the loans or does she expect the government to bail her out?

The purpose of this thread is an opportunity for DUmmies to brag about having taxable income.

You may notice there have been very few replies.

Haven't done mine yet.  Last two years I owed a bunch, for reasons unique to those years, so I had my withholding jacked 'way up on the retired military pay, so I'm hoping this year I might actually get something back, but haven't had time to screw with it yet.

If you did your math correctly, you should get or pay around $10.

Since I never know what state in which I will be working it is impossible for me to do said calculation.  But if you are in one place you should be able to gauge your withholding.

Given the current rate of return on a savings account or CD, the opportunity cost on being a thousand dollars over wouldn't even fill the gas tank on anything but a Prius.  It's really not all that important a calculation unless you're living hand-to-mouth and paying your bills with barely pennies to spare every month.  The satisfaction of getting it within ten bucks is far more an emotional issue than one of achieving a substantial financial benefit, for the vast majority's investment and spending patterns.
