I got my refund back last week. My only plans for the car at this time is just a new set of all seasons. Already replaced the broken garage door opener.

No refund for us...we had to pay $230. First time my wife and I have had to pay, but, we made considerably more in '11 than previous years. And it's only going up from now on.

So far, I bought 2 new tires for the car. If all goes according to plan, I'll be scoring myself a good used set of Ilumina/S-tech's from an Org member, and I need to replace my leaking radiator... Might go with the Koyo group buy on that one.

Man, that sucks... Unfortunately, they're gonna tear it up again. One thing I was looking at a while back is residential artificial turf. They have different styles that resemble different types of grass. Really cool.

Check out this link to give yourself a better idea of what i'm talking about.

Definitely got my eye on the 04 altima headers to add to my constant growing list of performance mods. I'm getting there slowly but surely

How many do you claim?

I'm getting back nearly 4k. 0 throughout the year and I made 10k more than last year.

Don't want to have to pay

Are you going to extend your rev limit past 6,500? If not, you're not going to benefit from having the power rod removed.

How much are you guys getting on your tax returns? I'm seeing a lot of 0 and numbers within a few hundred.

I used the H&R Block online thing, and it estimated I would get back $2,500. But I'm single, and with no house yet.

I am starting to get a feeling I did something wrong.

I'm also single, and not a home owner. I also don't have any kids or "dependents" and I got back about $1,400

you are giving the Gov an interest free loan. The best is to not owe or get anything back. If not that then it is to pay a little bit or get a small amount back. Basically by getting money back it means you overpaid them...

Oh then never mind haha.

I knew I was paying a little bit too much in taxes. All I filed for was the income tax return and when I got my W2 I saw that for this entire year I had 10K or so deducted from my paycheck. Which included federal tax, medicare, union dues, and all that mumbo jumbo.

All that money could bought every mod I have ever wanted for my car. But nooooooo.

But yeah, maybe with my tax return I might buy that lip kit I've been dying for, or maybe fix the bubbling tint, or maybe replace the cracked fog light, or all three!

Waiting on a couple of more documents before I call for an appointment. I don't expect more than 1300 bucks. Family of 4 and own my house. But when or if I do get something back we need a fridge. Nothing for the cars although I think I might get the 5.5 gen a new battery.
