It's one of my favorite times of the year! I know others loathe it but I usually end up getting a lot back.
I just did my taxes with the same e-file site I always do them with and my total made me cry (out of happiness). Apparently since I paid all my school tuition out-of-pocket I got 1300 back.
It made for a total of 1900 fed refund.
I owe 2600 in student loans which I'm going to pay back before I leave in June for Central America. Basically now I only owe 700 in loans and all the money I make in Apr and May is going straight into my travel fund (since my lease is up in Mar and I'll be living rent-free with my dad). That means I'll have a 2000 for travel! I'm so excited! Okay, I had to post this...my boyfriend thought I was crazy for almost sobbing on the keyboard. I don't know...I blame hormones.
