The tax monster is coming soon. What are you planning on doing with your refund?

[RMC33]

So who is going to buy something fun with their tax refund?

Personally geting close to $4000 back and putting it towards a 7DmkII or 1Dx depending on the stats on the latter.

Does part of the down payment on a new vehicle count as 'fun'? I suppose not, but then, I fund all my gear purchases from 'on the side' consulting work - the day job income (and taxes refunded from that) go toward the important stuff - house, cars, kids' college and retirement funds, etc.

there is nothing like the government paying you back with your own money without interest

Given that with the latest tax changes we are about $1200 poorer every month, I do not believe I'll be buying anything.

I would say that sucks, but if you are loosing $1200 a month to a 2% tax increase I don't feel sorry for you.

I'm not sure the financial department will OK an AFE for camera gear. Travel and kitchen reno will certainly come first.

It's a lot more than 2%.

While it's not as sexy as cameras and lenses... maybe radio poppers and promo promo promo... custom leather albums, canvas samples, metal samples... cant sell it if you dont show it.

If you overpaid in taxes (in the USA), you can typically get the refunded taxes back in a refund. =) no guarantees in other countries.

It will go towards something in one of my hobbies. I just haven't decided yet.

He was being sarcastic. I thought the same question...the only people the get refunds are the people have "jobs".
