Have you already spent your tax return?

[10-Ring]

Normally, if I get a tax return, I spend it on something gun related. This year, because I had a good '06 (2 AR's and a new job), I've decided to forgo the gun this year and do something else w/ it...so, I've decided to live life through my boyz here...what have you guys decided to get w/ your returns???

 

[Taurus 66]

Yeah, and you know what TEES me off more than anything else about my $2,100 federal return and $383 state return? ... is that NOT SO MUCH AS ONE STINKIN DIME OF THAT MONEY WENT FOR ANYTHING GUN RELATED!!! Not even a box of ammo. Nope. All of the money went for [Homer Simpson girly voice when he mocks someone] OOOH paying off a new washing machine and the rest to keep our bills on track and up to date! [/Homer Simpson girly voice when he mocks someone]

The stash is down to less than $300 now a month later.

 

[BADUNAME13]

No, but all my spair money through 2008 is spoken for.

 

[Doggy Daddy]

"Return??"

 

[Hoppy590]

mines going to the CMP when the time comes.

I sadly must report that of the large amount my wife and I had returned to us by Uncle Scrooge... I mean the IRS... I was only able to spend about 200
or so on some ammo. But I have not let that stop me from purchasing firearms during the rest of the year in the past and I certainly do not intend to refrain from future purchases. I did get to spend the money on something I liked however with the blessings of my wife. A new diesel tractor to help with landscaping etc duties on our "estate" (sic).

A Smith and Wesson M327TRR8. Gonna hunt coyote with it this weekend

 

[Juna]

Already spent, but unfortunately....

NOT SO MUCH AS ONE STINKIN DIME OF THAT MONEY WENT FOR ANYTHING GUN RELATED!!! Not even a box of ammo.

I'm in the same boat as Taurus 66, but mine went to furniture. My wife would never have let me use it on guns. That said, I'm using my credit card points earned by buying the furniture for gift certificates to get a new firearm for darn near free in the next month or so. So it wasn't a total loss. Heck, I had never used my points for anything before. Now that I realize I can buy guns with my points, I'll be charging things a lot more!

What tax return?

Whoops! Double-post.:banghead:

 

[Jacka L Ope]

What tax return?

Hehe. My taxes are tweaked such that I usually end up paying a hundred or two yet. I look at it this way - that money is mine to begin with and I'll be damned if I overpay during the year.

 

[jhunter]

I do that too. 2500 buck return.. I say adjust it so you keep that money during the year, and the int will earn you at least a box of ammo just in a savings account. Then, at the end of the year, take it and act as if its a "return" and buy what you need. I ended up getting 22 bucks back, just about perfect. A buddy of mine made about the same, also has no kids, simular write offs, etc. He got 4K back?? The gov. earned int. from his money, I earned it from mine..

 

[obxned]

Spent it all - all 3 pistols worth!!!!

 

[Declaration Day]

My tax return is usually approx. negative $250. I figure this year I'll buy a shiny new negative Ruger 10/22.

 

[bogie]

Oooh! Oooh!

Know how to learn which of your buds ain't all that bright?

Ask 'em how much tax they paid last year.

It they say "I didn't pay anything - I got money back!" you need to find smarter friends.

 

[MilsurpShooter]

I usually get about $800 back. Between my birthday and the return I got a hefty chunk of change. Most of it is sitting in my safe but I did take some out for my Mosin with PU setup. The rest of it will be sitting there until I get enough saved... I'm thinking M1 Carbine, Garand or Tokarev.

 

[Hkmp5sd]

Nope. The refund check is still stuck (via magnet) to the side of the fridge. Too lazy to cash it.

 

[Cliff47]

My refund came back in 12 days, filed electronically, direct deposited. Some has gon into the savings, the remainder into the recreation fund (some will go to Las Vegas in May), the rest I will spend frivilously.

 

[the pistolero]

I've spent mine already, yes. Part on a new Springfield Loaded, part on my truck insurance and part on an RCBS turret press kit and 10mm dies. Much fun to come for me.

 

[tegemu]

My armory is in pretty good shape so mine will go to pay on credit cards. (Much of that debt came from gun related stuff.)

 

[Dorryn]

I havent even received my tax return yet.

 

[Sistema1927]

"Return??"

I will be writing checks and putting them in the mail the middle of April.

 

[Bubbles]

I don't give .gov interest-free loans. I'll file in mid-April.

 

[Srigs]

I will pick something up. I'm just debating what... hmmm what should I get an AK, Kel-tec SU16, M&P 40c... decisions... decisions

 

[hso]

Nope. Don't loan money to the fed gov if I can help it.

 

[2bigfeet]

Right back into an IRA.
