What made you smile today?

Well, you earned that money so I'd say every penny is yours. Plus they likely made investment earnings while they had the money....ahh, nevermind. It's better to think along your lines.

No, I "earned" $15k last year. Minus all of the deductions entitled to me, I only owed taxes on $5k. I paid $500 in taxes all year, so it's kind of amazing to get a tax return of $1500 on taxes I didn't pay.

Think of it as a small scale Mitt Romney, except I got back more taxes than I paid, while he's still paying 15% taxes. He's a sucker.

Oh, I thought you were getting an actual refund. It's strange that you're getting more than you paid.
