I need to vent somewhere, so here it goes.
I am a little ticked off at DH.
We recently have been collecting info for our taxes. I made some money online so I had a 1090, which means no taxes were taken out. I didn't make alot, but it was nice extra money. So I gave him that. Because we farm we can do a ton of deductions as well. I also used all my internet bills to be deducted too, but DH siad his accountant doubted they could be used. I know they can since I used the internet to make this money. We also got to deduct all out of pocket money we paid in medical this year...and we had alot. Along with a bunch of other stuff I had to run around and collect. DH said that his account was working magic (he always dioes, he's great) and we wouldn't have to pay anything this year...but no refund most likely either. We got around 800 back last year.
He kind of made me feel guilty, like it was my fault because I made this extra money. Not too bad, but he mentioned it and I said well sorry, and he said no problem.
Well.....I was filling out a form to try and get Claire a scholarship for school next year (she goes to private school). It need a copy of our tax form, so I asked if he had it and he said yes. (I never even knew they were finished). So he gives me the copy, and I make a copy and fill the info. So I'm looking it over and wonder how the heck it was filed without me signing...I asked later and he said electronically...and I realized ,OH yeah that can happen.
But here's the kicker. Theres a refund I realized later on...$3000!!!! Nice of him to mention it.
so I got curious tongiht and looked online at the IRS site to see when this refund will come....it's already been direct deposited to his account. (we have seperate accounts)
So this kind of ticks me off. Now granted I would never use any of it (though a Disney vacatrion surely comes in mind) We have my teeth bills to pay off on a credit card along with some other stuff. So he better be paying that, but it ticks me off that he never said a word about it to me.
I really shouldn't be mad as I don't work, per se, so it is his work that earned this..well really the great account that earned it. LOL! And like I said, I wouldn't be doing anything with it becuase we have stuff that needs to be paid off. But it still irks me that he never said a word about it.
I guess the kicker for me is direct deposit. He would never do this in the past. I had stuff direct deposited and he thought it was wierd. (He doesn't even have an ATM card) One year we filed seperately and th bad account we had said we couldn't while married...which I knew he was wrong, well I had already got my direct deposit back, and he made such a fuss, that we filed an amendment and filed jointly, paid back the refund plus what DH owed, and then a few weeks later the stupid IRS refunded it all back to me again, including what DH had to pay.
It took months before we got someone who would take this money back. Anyways DH said the whole direct deposit thing is what messed it up.
I was so mad that all my refund was going towards his farm taxes that after that, we always filed seperately and I told him to tell that account to shoe it up his ...well you know (the account was a family member btw, so it was hard to get rid of him without hard feelings)
And I never gave my refunds to him, I spent them on things for me and the kids. Like shoes and clothes. Nothing wild.
Anyways, sorry I bored you all with this, but I had to do a little venting somewhere. I usuely wouldn't keep my mouth shut about this, but I just don't want to start a fight over something that is kind of stupid. I knwo he's not using it for anything stupid...but I would still like to be in the loop!
