Tax Returns-How much do you get?

[mysteriousmom06]

Sorry this may be a little personal but I was reading the other post about ppl getting thousands of dollars & couldn't believe it.

So how much do you normal get back from your tax return? How many kids do you have? Why don't you change your W4 to keep your money thru the year?

it really all depends on the year and what we have coming in and going out so to speak ,

we had to pay last year.

my mil, who worked part time at McDs (the only one working and is on PA) got back almost $7000- tell me how thats fair??

I file single and I have one chld. I claim daycare and rent and I get about $4500 back every year.

We have 3 qualifying kids and got $8200 back...we don't want more during the year as I am a horrible saver...so we like getting back a lump sum...This year should be more as hubby's bonus' and drive pay was also taxed .....

Tax "Return".. I have no familiarity with this thing called a "Tax Return"..

Got back $7,700 last year, should be about the same amount if not more for this year

File 0 on w4.We can make it through the year with it this way just fine and when tax reund comes in it kinda like saving without actually doing it because we wouldnt save the extra money during the year.

We get about $6,000 with one child.

last year i was shocked out of my mind and got 7500 back combined. Thats because i had my son in Aug 2008, so all year at work i claimed 0 allowances, but on my tax return i could claim him as a dependant. He is my only child and im single.
