Yay for income taxes!
Bet you won't hear that one very much. Well, just filed, and thanks to my job troubles of earlier in the year, I got one more year of EIC out of our beloved government. So, while I made a grand total of ~$5000 last year, I'm getting $700-some back from them, and I paid less than $300 in.
The down side, of course, is that my "rebate" will be the smaller variety even though I expect to actually be paying income taxes next year, but I can live with that. I'm hoping that Carl may also qualify for EIC, but I'm not sure he will. I'm very pleased with the fact that both states had freely available online filing... I'm not sure why the federal government can't do that.
So, about $850 right now, with another $300 coming hopefully by summer. Can't complain about that, it will go a long way towards our debt and leave a little bit to cover some nice Valentine's Day and anniversary celebrations. :)
