So I did a tentative run of my taxes. I always do them by hand AND online to ensure I'm not missing anything. And the first version I did says I'll get back $1331 federal and 397 state!
I had some extreme things happen that caused my itemized deductions to greatly change my taxes. I can guarentee this will not happen again next year!
Still - 2/3 ($1152) of any refund I get will go to my credit card and 1/3 ($576) will go to my vacation fund. Yay.
Wowza!

I'm always a little disappointed when I get a refund because it means I didn't figure things out right, but at the same time, since I assumed I was getting the right amount in my paycheck the whole year, it feels a bit like free money and I enjoy getting to do something with it.
