Sabrina’s Money Madness

Yeah it’s usually April 15th but there was some holiday in there and it got pushed back until today. I already filed my federal and state returns. All that’s left to do today is mail my local return and mail the state what I owe them. I don’t care what I do, I always end […]

We got paid last week and I noticed that my paycheck was slightly more than usual. Then I remembered that they cut the Social Security rate from 6.2% down to 4.2% (actually I read it on another blog).
I hate tax cuts though. Yeah it’s nice for that year or two while you get a little […]

I know it takes 2 weeks on average to get my refund but I’m going nuts waiting for it. I have so many things I want to buy. Some of the stuff is small and then there is the new computer that I want to get. I’ve also been looking at contemporary furniture for my […]

Well tax credits to be more precise. They’re causing me to get a nice hefty refund this year. I have my withholding set to 2 so I don’t get a lot held out of my paycheck but I also don’t get a large refund during tax time. My refund usually comes in anywhere from $300-600 […]

I had to remember to pay my taxes today. I don’t owe federal, I actually got a refund from them. I did owe the state however. I generally owe them every year. I was pretty happy that my bill was lower than usual. I only owed $8.00 this year. Not too bad.
I wish I was […]

There are a lot of tax software programs out there. I’m not about to pay to file my taxes. I know several of the programs do have income restrictions. I don’t have to worry about that because I don’t make that much money. However I do have several 1099’s for misc. funds and for interest […]

Iam so ready to file my taxes. I don’t expect to get much of a refund though. I have my exemptions set pretty high so I get less taken out per check and I get a smaller refund. I just want to get it out of the way. It’s not a really time consuming process though. […]

Ok so I got my w-2’s from my full time job. I have some of my 1099’s from my dividends and interest payments. But I have a home based business that I also do on the side and I can’t file until I get the w-2’s from them. I don’t expect to get a refund but […]

The funny thing about it was my coworker was just asking about our W-2’s today. When I got home from work they were in the mail. I don’t understand why they send 2 copies of each set. I doesn’t matter though as long as I get all 4 copies that I need. I don’t have […]

From the Economic Stimulus money? I’ve heard so many people complain because they got less than the amount they were expecting. I’ve been reading various blogs and people are complaining because they only got $300 when they thought they were getting $600. That’s why I didn’t run out and go spending my money before I […]

Yesterday I asked if you had spent your economic stimulus check yet. I actually wrote the post on Tuesday but hadn’t published it. I got home yesterday and read on MSN that they’re sending the checks out early. Instead of waiting until May 2nd, they’re going to start sending the money out on Monday April 28th. […]

Yes I know the first checks don’t come out until next Friday May 2nd. But we all know people that have already spent their checks in anticipation of getting them. People are assuming that they’re getting the maximum amounts so they’ve been spending. They’re buying flat screen tvs, luxury watches, and jewelry. I’ve also noticed a […]
