Did my taxes

February 7th, 2015 at 03:39 pm

Yay. Would have done it sooner, but I admit I was kind of dragging my feet.

Placed my refund into Amazon again, because I do nearly all of my year-round shopping online, and their 10% bonus is just too good to pass up.

I don't have any particular urges to buy anything having the money there, so I think I am OK.

However, I may be finally be upgrading my car this year, and if I decide to do that, it will likely be the Nissan Leaf. And if I should decide to do that, I may use the tax refund money to buy a spare charger through Amazon.

I think I am also going to look into upping my tax withholdings, although if you stop and think about it, it's amusing to consider that I am basically loaning Uncle Sam some of my money, but earning a guaranteed 10% return on Amazon... which may actually make it worth my while NOT to increase my withholdings. Funny thought, eh?

    That is an odd thought about loaning the Govt more to get a 10% return...that would be used for shopping!

    Hmm, I had not heard about the Amazon discount for deposit of tax refunds. What an unusual "investment" idea. It would be too bad if you increased withholding and then Amazon doesn't off the deal next year.

    Is this only through Turbo Tax?

    I am not sure, but I am on TurboTax, yes.

    Haha, I am not sure I would go so far as to say I deserve one, Ima. However, I do need one, and the Leaf is one of those new age electric cars that, hopefully, I will also never have to pay for gas again.

    In this case, I would have to say that loaning the government money for a 10% return is a good plan. Smile

    If it works out, I would say your plan on loaning the government money for the 10% return at Amazon is great. Far better than anything else out there.
