Look at it this way, you had your $1000 all year and it was invested and gaining interest for you (I hope). If you had a $1000 refund, the government was earning interest on your money all year!
The best thing to do is play with your deductions until you are as close to $0 as possible.

I am so glad we don't have to deal with tax returns in this country - it gets taken at source here. Most things include tax, with the exception of certain things.

Do people in the US usually work out their taxes accurately, or is it normal to get a refund?

see me being an american right there makes me lazy so i just have the govt. take out however much they feel is necessary and when i fill out my income taxes at the end of the year i always get like mad cash back from them because they always take out more than they should have in the first place so i just leave it up to them to make the errors then i go back over their work and correct all of their mistakes. did i make any sense?

What do you have to put on these sheets then? Do you have to keep all the receipts for everything you buy, and declare them? Or is it sufficient to just let them know how much you earn?

it's quite simple, for me at least, your employer sends you a form with all these fuckin' boxes and #'s and you just pick up a different form from the library or post office and fill out the corresponding boxes on the form from the library with the ones from your employer and bust out your calculator skills and boom you be done and all you do is put the form you filled out in the mail and kick back relax and wiat for the check!

What about "Mystery VAT woman" ;) Didn't it turn out she was doing it right after all or something?
I reckon there should just be tax at one stage, like a 30% VAT on all goods and services that everyone pays, even companies. No taxes or stealth taxes that way and it'd cut down on admin costs too. Bloody admin people leaching money when their job could be done more effectivley by a computer.

Let me tell you how it will be There's one for you, nineteen for me 'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
Should five per cent appear too small Be thankful I don't take it all 'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman
If you drive a car, I'll tax the street If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat If you get too cold I'll tax the heat If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet
Taxman! 'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman
Don't ask me what I want it for (Aahh Mr. Wilson) If you don't want to pay some more (Aahh Mr. Heath) 'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
Now my advice for those who die Declare the pennies on your eyes 'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me Taxman!

Taxes are good , i just wish that the rich fuckers would pay them to.
They always find ways to avoid them and we common people is left with the bill.

I told you that I had apologised to the poor woman - you don't need to rub salt into the wounds!
Everyone else: I teach night school and I did Excel one week, and did a simple invoice with my class. My invoice used a formula to calculate the VAT, and this woman in my class said that my way was wrong and her way was right. What Ceri is reffering to was the fact that she went home from my class thinking she owed the Tax people hundreds if I was right!! :) She actually calculated the amount of taxable tax on a total figure, as opposed to my way which showed the tax that need to be added to a total!
Ceri JC : :P

What sucks is when you get money back and your like "yeah I got me a fat check!" but you know it was yours in the first place. Of course taxes are necessary, but where the hell do these idiots come from who choose how tax dollars are spent? I don't vote for em.

Apparently Wesley Snipes has been nailed for not paying his taxes. He said he hasnt had any income since 1996, guess he just stars as Blade for the fun of it.
