I know that many are enjoying the tax refund specially that what they called stimulus package. I asked my friend who has a paving business and she said, its' really sad because instead of enjoying the tax refund, they paid higher tax.. hahaha!! what is that? anyway... congratulations to all who are enjoying their tax refund. Are you one of them? just curious to hear your story.

I haven't been able to enjoy a tax refund since the day I got married. Our tax refunds have always gone towards paying off debts every year since we have been together. It appears this will always be the case.

Oh what? is ti fair for the child support office to do that to you? Well, I am not familiar with the child support program because we don't have that one. My husband is not giving child support for his kids because he has the full custody of them both and the other one is already 20. We still have 17 years old with us,, and we don't have the kinds of problem. We have tax refund... but just a little.

I didn't get to enjoy my tax refund this year. It all went towards medical bills from an accident that my husband had in October 2008. It would have been enjoyable to pay them off if I didn't have more to pay. :(

Oh!! only US this program I think. It is because people here are also giving higher taxes to the government. They have federal tax and state tax.. imagine that?

Unfortunately I didn't receive a refund because I screwed up last year and now I owe. I am getting extra every week but I hear that most likely that will cause me to owe again! aarrggghhh, you just can't win! I am currently (still) unemployed and getting an extra $25 a week because of obama's plan.

Oh!! $25 a week? I am not updated about Obama's plan but what is that $25 a week? is that an allowance from the government for those who have no job and still looking for one? Anyway, we do have have our tax payable to the IRS last year but we were able to patch it up this year. This higher taxes is really sickening.
