So I entered all of the information for taxes the other day. The only thing that we're really waiting on is Cathy's interest form from her savings and her thing from her student loans. Then we'll go ahead and get the return filed.
With just my information, I was getting about $800 worth of money back. Adding Cathy we end up getting only like $1150 or something like that. She wasn't sure why she wasn't getting much taken out for taxes, so when she checked tonight she had her withholding set up incorrectly so they weren't taking much out of her for taxes every month. I guess it worked out in the end because she still got some money back but ended up getting more in every pay check. But it really put a dent into what I was hoping we'd be getting for a return.
The state will be sending us about $300 or so. So basically we'll be getting nearly $1500 back. We'll throw it into the savings with the rest of the money from our reception. We plan on putting a fence in the backyard with some of the money, and then the rest we will use to take a trip to Houston in July for Cathy's cousin's wedding.
