Where the hell is my money?
I'm only getting a little over $1,000 back from federal? WTF?! I got like $1500 last year! Oh, and yeah ... because of some computer software glitch 7 years ago, I owe the state of NY $900 dollars in back taxes for the year ending 2003.

I've paid off like $700 already, so the $113 I'm getting back will just be kept by them.
Seriously ... why the hell do I live in NY any more? The most expense state to live in and my salary just barley covers rent & bills. They are constantly hiking up the subway and bus fares. Soon, NY will be for only the Donald Trumps in the world.
Sorry....but that's why I stay the hell out of the Left Wing states and love living in the South.I get almost a thousand bucks back from the Federal Govt and I only owe the state of Alabama....Two dollars

Yeah, see ... I don't go to H&R Block, because they are
CROOKS! They charge me nearly $200 dollars to do my taxes and I don't have any dependents or claim anyone other than myself. It's the state ... I'm telling you - It's the friggin'
STATE. Bastards are running it into the ground!
$200...ummm it costs me a little bit more than that with dependents. That so doesn't sound right. All I know is don't go to Jackson Hewitt.

Nah, don't go there. I go to
www.taxact.com and pay $13.95 to file both federal and state and have the money direct deposited into my account.
Once approved, the deposit goes into my account in less than a week. By this time next week, I'll have my money and I can pay off my bills. Woo hoo! That much closer to being debt free

KJ! Didn't see your comment there.

I know what you mean ... as I will soon be living in the South. The north ain't all it's cracked up to be.

You guys are kidding right? I'd kill to be able to move back to New England. I want a actual decent piece of pizza,a cannoli, and a bialy. East coast food is the yum.

Oh crap! You are so right about that. NY Pizza and chinese food are sorely lacking in quality in the South. Damn ... may have to rethink this moving thing now.

Well, you could always move the midwest where all we eat is corn.
No, I joke. That's a stereotype. It's only true for some people.
Although I do eat a lot of corn. It's in everything.

Hmmm ... I do like corn. But then again, I like wheat and cheese as well.
Seriously have to do some rethinking now.

Like any good Washingtonian, ugh I can't believe I just called myself that, I love my coffee, and there's nothing better then sitting at the bus stop and seeing three Starbucks and two espresso stands, but I would trade it all for a frappe maker and a bialy. I mean english muffins and bagels just don't do it for me.

Love coffee ...
LOVE it!
OMG ... can't go a day without drinking it. Sometimes, I have 3 cups a day

But, what do you expect from someone who's drank a cup since the age of eight?
