Last year I got $6000...we have 3 kids, hubby always claims 0. I know that it is better to keep your money then let the gov have it interest free, but I am always a wreck that we will owe...Comment

I don't think I have EVER got $$$$ back......
In my case though, I think it is because both DH and I are self-employed and I have no dependants to claim since they have flown the coop.... But even when they were little, we just never got anything back (a few $$$ for nice dinner out but nothing more...)
(VENT) ...On a side note, this is the time of year I start getting grumpy because I hear all my single moms who get state subsidy paid childcare yakking about their refunds of $5,000 or more and how they are going on a vacation or getting a new iphone, laptop, car, shopping spree...blah, blah, blah.....Of course they gotta run to H&R Block to do Rapid Refund because they couldn't possibly wait 2 weeks to get their money....even though Rapid Refund costs additional money and they didn't have two pennies to rub together days before this..... It just bugs me that I've worked my butt off my whole life and I have NEVER gotten thousands of dollars back to blow however I choose and then live off of all this state aide the rest of the year. Sorry.....didnt mean to rant. I am done now.Comment

Last year was our biggest refund EVER, a little over 10K thanks to the 8K first time home buyers credit.
But we spent thousands of dollars moving from CA to TX, and then needed to buy all new appliances & light fixtures for our new home since it was a foreclosure & didn't come with any. That money was GONE! I was only in daycare for about 5 months in that year.

I will second this!! We always pay in! Same thing we have no children. We even had an additional $10.00 each every week taken out. My old job everyone but me & DH got all that wonderful money! haha, and I watched how they blew through it, no one ever saved a penny. They were all broke by the middle of March and complaining for any overtime! Then they all wondered last year when we bought a new house, a nice used Van fo 8k and all new lawn stuff. they could not understand..hummm, WE SAVED from our pay checks. We did not get so called "free money". These are the people that eat out everyday and me & DH packed a lunch. They would trade off kids SS# to friends and that friend would give then another 2k. This is what is wrong with our country!! people that ABUSE the system. Ok...I am done with my rantComment

it's really nice to get a refund, my hubby and i work our butts off all year so we *appreciate* our refund money! I get sick about it too when I see these dumb girls getting all this money and blowing through it on frivelous crap.
As soon as we see how much we will get in a refund, we budget it before the deposit hits our account so we know exactly where it's going...mostly to savings, bills, home repairs...grown up crap...this year we're using a little to go on a vacation to Chicago

cillybean, Good for you!! There are responsible people like you that use the money wisely. I know several people who get all the tax credits and deserve it. I just hate when people have husbands, but they file as seperated so they can get all this money back, they will have 3/4 children and use relatives to use one of their kids to again get more back or they use food stamps to buy crap and junk food or they buy T-bone steaks!! BURRRRRit's really nice to get a refund, my hubby and i work our butts off all year so we *appreciate* our refund money! I get sick about it too when I see these dumb girls getting all this money and blowing through it on frivelous crap.

omg dont get me started on food stamps...i want to throw up when i see these girls with 3 kids in the grocery line, getting all brand name CRAP (frozen pizzas, frozen kid cuisines, lunchables, etc etc), then they pull their prada wallet out of their coach handbag (that of course matches their coach shoes and their coach phone carrier that contains their brand new iphone) and out pops the food stamp card!Comment
