So there could be some people who have paid less than they should have and so have to cough up more to the government?  Oh no.  Poor them.

LOL no.

I am actually surprised at it myself. I worked for 10 of the 12 months this year, the 2 months where I was unemployed also brought in no pay because I was denied unemployment. I jumped off a table and kicked a co-worker, lol.

My girlfriend files as a student. I just seem to get lucky each year.

I wish I knew someone that can inflate my returns somehow.

yes, you could have to pay more. Last year I had to pay $150 in state taxes due to my wife's job not paying enough state taxes on her income, but I got back like $1000 in federal taxes. You can adjust how much you pay throughout the year, and most people have it set up so they don't get much back in the end.

Anybody know if it's still possible to get taxes back from a year that you forgot to do your taxes?

not a clue, but I doubt it. I'm assuming that year was one where you made under the limit for being forced to do taxes. If not, I wouldn't want to remind them...

^ Wish I could help you there but I have no clue.

What do you claim anyways? I claim "0". That way they take the most possible and I end up getting more back on my tax return.

If you're interested in the games it has to play then buy one.

If not then don't.

It's not like the price of the Wii is going up or it's going to disappear any time soon so if there's nothing it has that you want to play right now then just hold off on getting it now and get it later when it does.

You are actually best off getting 0 back at the end of the year, because then you can just invest that extra 1k and have $30 extra at the end of the year for a pizza and movie and you still have your 1k

Just looked it up, you can file taxes you haven't in past years and get money back.

I claim "1"
