Things to do with '03 tax refunds?
What kinds of things are you planning to buy/purchase with your '03 refund (you don't have to reveal how much it is)?

I'm looking for good ideas, rather than blowing it all on a new computer or something.

Timely question - about ten minutes ago, I finished up working ours out with TaxCut!!

I'm one of those that tries to hit it as close to -0- as I can by keeping the withholdings accurate & having extra withheld if need be. Usually, I wind up owing a couple hundred anyway, but no big deal as long as I avoid penalties.

Somehow, this year we get a refund!!! WooHoo!!!

But where to spend it??? LOL - Taco Bell, I guess - it's $6 !!!
Just doesn't seem fair that the rebate on TaxCut is greater than the tax refund...

Ahh, well - I'm just happy not to write a check this year!!!
Then again, I should be PO'd since the reason it's low is because investments didn't make SQUAT in 03....
It's depressing to realize I'd really prefer to be paying!!

You could loan me a few dollars to pay my 2003 taxes.

I'll likely purchase a laptop and put the rest away for my '04-'05 tuition.

Theo if you declare 30 dependents you will owe

Don't blame uncle sam for no refund if you did not pay extra.

W2 selections kill lots of refunds

Don't forget about us 1099 contractors and consultants. I haven't had a W2 to file in several years.

Hehe I let Uncle Sam keep my money for the few years I worked in Germany and I just got my 2 checks in the mail a little while ago

What I DID get

Nomad Jukebox Zen 30GB
40 Gal. Fish Tank
Fujifilm A205 2MP Digi Cam

Saving the rest for now
