2011 Taxes

just did mine, well, my dad did, he's the accountant of the family and does mine every year. Printed my W2 at work beginning of the week, filed it electronically, should be getting my refund in about a week.

 

Still waiting on documentation from a couple of places.

 

I've got my W-2 now but I still need my property tax report from my mortgage company.

 

No w2 yet.

 

Meeting my accountant at the beginning of March, like every year....

 

Same.

 

Can't wait! This is going to be AWESOME!

...wait, a thread about taxes???

Spoiler

 

Filed a week ago. Expecting refund first week of Feb.

 

Do you guys report your band income? We do and writing off enough music expenses so I don't have to pay taxes on it is a gigantic pain in the ass. I dread it every year.

 

" "

I can get literally every other document I need online now, but not my W2 just yet.

 

Paid the insane property taxes last month. Taxes will be done with the bean counter in late Feb.

 

I'm the opposite. I have my W2 but other tax documents are not available yet.

 

We always have to file extensions because we have to wait around for a bunch of documents every year.

 

Filed mine last week, stuck with a bill, on the bright side, it's less than last year.

 

still waiting on W2's from my old job and new job.

pretty excited since we had another little bundle of tax deduction this year...

 

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Just got a bill from Hyundai, saying that I am being charged almost $700 in *PROPERTY TAXES* on my LEASED Sonata...

I looked it up online, and yes, Texas is one of the few states which charges people property taxes on their leased vehicles.

When did this happen?

I have had a few leases in the last 5 years or so and this is the first I have ever seen/heard of it.

Is it new? How did they sneak that one by?

I am not against paying my fair share of taxes, but paying property tax on property I do not OWN just royally P155E5 ME OFF

And I can just imagine the bill some people ar egetting for leasing their nice Lexus or BMW or whatever, gonna be 2 grand or more for some of those people.

Ridiculous.

 

Really? This is crazy. Is this true?

 

Finished mine already, my family does income taxes.

 

I had never heard about this. We leased our SUV for 3 years before buying it and I don't recall paying property tax. But I heard it could be rolled into the payment or something so maybe I didn't notice.
I found the code on it and it looks like you are exempt if it's just a personal vehicle though.
