Default Official 2011 Tax Return Thread

How much are you getting and what are you doing with the money?

2011 was the first (and probably the last) year I worked almost exclusively as an independent business (1099-MISC), so I didn't have anybody to withold my taxes from my paychecks. I wasn't sure what to expect since the tax rates are different for independents, so I withheld 1/3 of my income in a savings account and figured that would be good. Turns out it wasnt' a great year for me income-wise, and I ended up saving about $7,000 more than I needed to (so like a self-imposed $7033 tax refund.

I just e-filed yesterday and I've already dropped the SAABaru off for window tint. I'm thinking about getting a roof rack too. And I'm going to start shopping for engagement rings (yes, you read that correctly). Probably some truck parts between now and spring, and the rest will serve to replenish my bombed-out and depleted savings account.
