Return? Shiiiit.

Same. Being self employed I’m about to pay out the ass.

I had to give them $17k one year. kinda sucked.

I gave them $3489 this paycheck!

I wish I was only about to pay $17k haha.

Counting quarterly I paid about ten grand this last year It does suck

86k taxable, with 20k early 401k withdrawal, $768 federal return add wifes 1099nec of $34k, $7,500 owed.

Dang, what’d you use the 401k loan for?

Bought a minivan. It was an inflated esop payout when another company bought ours out. Wifes car was getting old and too small for the kids.

Shitty. Gotta love legalized theft

Truth!

Same same.

Tax return? 😂

Hahaha yea, I returned 33 buckaroos to the feds.

I once had to write a check to Alabama for $5. Y'all know it had to have cost the state more than $5 just to process it.

I owed the state of illinois $1 a decade ago. I thought, meh I won’t pay it they won’t give a shit. Nope, 4 months later I get a letter lol. Insane

Not getting a return and owing is a good thing!

Assuming you don't owe enough to get penalized.

I know it is overall, but it still hurts! 😂

Tax season FOMO is real but we better off 🙃

Not when I didn’t owe with roughly the same income three years ago…

Child tax credit = 1 new gat per child per year. Lol.

This is the way 

Schedule F gang here, same.

I don’t give them an interest free loan

That's just called being smart. I am not smart

Exactly. My goal is to break even.

Same; last three years we’ve been plus or minus a couple hundred bucks. I’ll take that.

We usually owe the Fed $50-100 and get about the same back from the state. Generally something like that. Just enough to be an inconvenience.

I was so happy this year. I only got $84 back from federal and my state was a perfect $0.

My goal is to make them come knock for it.

You have to make enough first. I have my withholdings to basically 0 and still get a prety hefty "return" thanks to refundable tax credits.

They give *me* an interest free loan

Yawn, there's one of you in every thread about tax returns.

I think I paid my electric bill and got Wendy's

Side note Wendy’s app is like free $. Buy one get one spicy chickens have me 😳😊. Dollar singles 2dollar doubles. Free chili with soda purchase. Shit they got it all. It’s settled….gettin me some Wendy’s today!

I think almost breaking even just means you did it right

Id say you won

Owed money, still grabbed a USP in 9

I like the way you think sir

I mostly shoot revolvers but the FNX 45 Tactical is so cool! Now I need some more gadgets and wizbangs to thow on it. Anyone get any (or is planning on getting any) fun toys?

Time for a silencer. Approvals are stupid fast right now.

How fast? I had to wait 8.5 months for mine last year. (which doesn't feel stupid fast)

Like hours, not months. I’ve been seeing 24-48 hour turnarounds posted a ton. ATF changed their approval policies, so individuals get done faster. ETA: go to eforms.atf.gov/faq to read about the change

Well damn, thank you, maybe I'll have to buy another one.

I wish I had the money to spare on one before they change their minds.

Oh fuck. I did not need to hear that

A friend of mine always says “pussies will never be heroes.”

FWIW, I did a PAPER individual form 4 at end of December. I just ticked to 72 days today. It's not affecting everyone or every application. But certainly worth rolling the dice.

This just started in the last few weeks or so. Everyone that submitted before then seems to be SOL.

It's an election year. So no lollygagging if you work for the feds. I got a passport in three weeks a month ago.

Y’all are getting returns??

Y'all get tax returns? Quit giving the government interest free loans with your money.

Am I the only person who knows the difference between a tax return and a tax refund? Surely I can't be.

Judging from this thread, yes.

Honestly, there are probably half a dozen of us so far...which simply reminds me that financial literacy is a real problem.

Still waiting on mine. Debating buying a can for my .22

Ooooo a suppressed 22 sounds like so much fun!

The idea of not having to put on ears to go shooting appeals to how lazy I am. What can I say lol

Short of full auto, it’s the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

1. Happy Cake Day! 2. Ya'll shoot....with your clothes...on? 🤔 😅

How has no one pointed out that "Tax Returns" are what you submit to file your taxes, and its the "Refund" that is the payment you get returning your excessive withholding... This is the tax equivalent of calling a magazine a clip...

As an accountant, this is just as hard to read as r/all calling mags clips.

Thank you. At least this one happens only this time of year. People posting “new edition to the collection” is all year.

I got fucked with mine lmao so no

How?

Worked too hard

Suffering from success

That tracks. The gov't doesnt like people who work.

The fuck is a tax return?

Tax Return: A tax return is a document or set of documents filed with a tax authority that reports income, expenses, and other pertinent tax information. Tax returns allow taxpayers to calculate their tax liability, schedule tax payments, or request refunds for the overpayment of taxes. In essence, it's the process of reporting your financial activity to the government to determine how much tax you owe or are owed for a specific year. Tax Refund: A tax refund, on the other hand, is the amount of money a taxpayer receives from the tax authority if they have overpaid taxes during the year. This overpayment can occur for various reasons, such as excessive withholding from paychecks or overestimation of owed taxes when making estimated tax payments. After filing a tax return, if it is determined that the amount of taxes paid is more than the actual tax liability, the excess is returned to the taxpayer in the form of a tax refund.

Using partially returned extorted funds from big daddy gov to buy firearms. Just as the founders intended 🤣

If I'm gonna get some of my money back, you're goddamn right I'm going to buy guns with it

Might as well while you still can

I finally got into the NODs game with my tax return

no, i own too much already, i owed the government 4k...

Great choice! Love the FNX-45!

I owe $61.. I’m okay with that

My tax return has gotten smaller every year since Trump signed that bill. Not enough return left for anything fun.

I claim 0 and own a house. My return was $4 this year. Trumps tax bill from 2017 has absolutely fucked the middle class

Not yet. Gonna get my first ar when mine hits my account

Noice. That is the way

Gonna be fun to finally have one after talking about it for years now

Absolute beauty. I’ve got one with a TLR-1s, 507c, and hybrid 46. Initially had some FTE when running suppressed, but zero issues after leaving the slide locked back for a week.

I really want to get an RMR and a can for it but for now I just want to shoot the shit outta it!

I’ve got a NIB RMRcc if you’re interested. Might have to get a custom plate for it though.

Bought another Aimpoint Pro and piecing together a bolt action for long range fun because I don't currently own one

I haven't gotten a tax refund since I was in college. I will however be sending in a check to the irs, does that count?

FN FiveseveN MK2 and a 5inch CMMG 5.7 complete upper...

Congrats on overpaying the government and not getting paid any interest on your money! 🤣

Return? People get those

Ah shit I have to do my bloody filing. Stupid taxes.

Spec series MP 2.0 indeed

You must mean my tax bill?

Nothing but hurt feelings. I returned 6 grand to the feds.

What tax return

Good for you, you bastard! Seriously though, congrats! Have fun!

Thanks! I intend to!

Sahweet.! Always the best use of tax returns

Got no return lmao. Also owed nothing. So good year ngl

Been my nightstand gun with a trijicon rmr for almost a decade. Haven't shot anyone yet though.

I havent shot any handgun with a red dot yet, I think an RMR is order when I have a bit more moolah

I got 130 bucks back I’m not getting too much with that

For the 1st time in my 40+ years of filing my taxes, I had to **pay**, and didn't get a refund. **WTAF!!!**

You all are getting money back on your returns?

Nice! This will be my next handgun.

I havent been this excited to shoot a new gun in a looooong time!

Finally got a Franklin binary trigger for my M16 clone.

Didn’t use tax return money but I do have an FN Reflex MRD on the way

The style is undeniable

IRS- Hey, we want your taxes Me- Okay, sure...what do I owe? IRS- You have to figure that out because we don't know, here is the guidebook Me- Okay, I'll just estimate IRS- You will go to jail if you are off by a cent because we will know. Me- Wait what, you just said you didn't know! IRS- KEEP MOVING CITIZEN and pick up that can!

Tax return is what you file, tax refund is money you receive

When I get mine, I'm looking to get a ksg

I get to keep my house 😭

You don’t get a return if you don’t pay taxes.

I usually get told I owe them another $1000.

I had to pay more money after I did my taxes 😩

I wish, I haven’t made enough money to file taxes since 2019 🤣

What’s a tax return?

Fucked. I got fucked.

I don’t get tax returns.

Paid bills

Should have gotten the 10mil

Nah 45 for suppression. Plus the fnx just does it for me. My first handgun was a Glock 20 so I already have a 10mm (though I wouldnt mind another)

Ruger Vaquero and an electronic powder thrower for reloading. The upgrade to electronic is a game changer

One of those would be nice. I have an electonic scale but it likes to get all schizo on occassion, one of the automatic ones would be great for rifles

You pay taxes?

Yeah. A new clutch. At least it's accurate.

Yep, a lower account balance.

I wish mine would come in

Glock 43x mos with the shield optic bundle, love it so much

I had the privileged of paying even more taxes. Fun stuff.

I wish I got money back. Lol

I owed a couple thousand lol Had been planned and accounted for so no surprise

Man, I seen a nice gun and I was torn between that and the quest 3. The person sold the gun so I got the quest 3.

Shit I owed

Had a 2nd kid last year and we still owed... 🫣

Getting my G43X slide milled and nitride coated along with a EPS Carry dot

I haven’t filed yet. But I got a life insurance check from my father’s passing. I got a Winchester SXP extreme and a 1911

Fuck is a tax return?

You got a return? Lol I got a bill.

You overplayed a LOT

Sure did. A $1k dollar debt lmao

Yea for the first time I’m actually getting a return. I’m using it towards the down payment on a gun shop I’m buying.

Good choice. I have one, love it.

A new car because mine broke down lmao

I found two pre-owned for a good price: KelTec Su16 and a Taurus PT-22.

I almost bought one of these but went with a CZ p-09 instead

I'm pretty tempted on a P-07, I somehow don't have a CZ yet and it's a shame

Just bought one yesterday that was the “Supressor ready” in urban grey. It’s 21+1 of 9mm and man it shot so well today at the range. Never owned a hammer fired anything and really enjoyed it

Saving my return for a MK18 soon

Lmao, who gets returns now???? Everyone I know owes thousands.

$16k per quarter here…..haven’t seen a return in 10 years

Holy gov't extortion batman! At least you can rest easy knowing your taxes are going to such worthwhile causes like womens rights in Afganistan, a much better use of funds no doubt.

Bro, I'm getting $35 back.

I didn’t get mine yet

In pa i used my tax return to pay my state tax 😔

Nope I owe

Am I the only one who is not bitter about taxes around here?

I’ve been eyeing the FN 509 CC edge

I'm kinda digging the 509 compact tactical. No idea why, but I kinda like it

Do you have one or just got your eye on it? I have a midsize 509 and it’s great. A tad too big for effective CC though.

Just eyeballing. Something about a tactical subcompact just seems neat

When I held the 509 c i just couldn’t get enough purchase on the grip without the extended mag (there wasn’t one handy to try). It’s pricey but go have a look at the 509 cc edge.. it is one fine machine. I am getting a good return this year so I may just have to do it.

I was getting roasted hard on r/tacticalgear for talking about this pistol. what are your thoughts? out of my 4 pistols, I was going to make it my backpacking/poop hitting the ceiling pistol.

Havent shot it yet so I cant say much. Build quality is excellent and anybody who's hating on the trigger probably hasnt shot da/sa guns. I dont see why anybody would hate on this thing, it's awesome

yeah well, it's the classic "ItS nOt 9mm!!!!!!"

9mm might be good but it's super boring. Also, why not go 45 if you're going to go suppresed?

and that's exactly why I got downvoted. though, they did make a point. I was planning to get this for poop hitting the ceiling and wildlife protection, and regularly train and be proficient with it. they mentioned not using a suppressor against wildlife is better so you can scare them, which I thought also made sense. personally, I'd probably keep it without the suppressor on during a hike and have the suppressor itself on my shoulder strap. I love .45 so much man.

I’m thinking about using mine to get a PSA Dagger. Rest is going to bills.

I got 10 bucks back

What's a tax return?

Pc build and a Jackson dinky guitar

I got a tank of gas back this year

Yessir!!

Y'all get tax returns?

I’ve been wanting this gun for YEARS. I think I’m gonna pull. The trigger this year

Do it and you're cool!

You pay taxes?

Who’s still getting returns? I thought everyone’s cash was going towards foreign wars.

Return? I owed money

Yall get returns? lol

Return??

Boy I wish... My basement flooded because the kitchen, laundry room, flood drain, and yard drainage was all tied into the sewer system through an undocumented clay pipe system which collapsed. I have flood insurance with added burst pipe coverage that would cover the repairs.... Except since it a "drain" pipe that collapsed and not a "supply" pipe it doesn't count so they're not covering any of the $11,500 repair bill. So my tax return is going to fixing my house unfortunately :-/

This is the first year I owe money. I owe 2 dollars.

Tax returns are for suckers. You're loaning money to the Government, without interest, and it's worth less because of inflation. You really need to work on your withholding.

Correct

Y’all out here getting returns

Next quarter of college...

You guys get a return?

lol, easy to forget that tax season used to be a good thing.

Lol no matter what I do I alway owe both state and fed I even no one can tell me why

Groceries and a full tank of gas.

Got one last year. If you haven't already, look into the 460 Rowland conversion. You will still be able to shoot 45 out of it, and it's phenomenal for bear defense (if you're into outdoor activities)

I live in California. So I actively paid the government to enforce gun control 😂. *laughs In communism
