Well today i FINALLY got my first pay check working with the oil company i was telling you guys about. Well, let's start of saying TAX SUCKS!! So i worked 2 weeks straight and my check came to $2465 cdn for those 2 weeks. Pretty good but still tax was like 800bucks!!!! jesus they can rip ya off!

Wren57 · 07-15-2003, 11:41 AM

holy *&*^#* tax is 1/3 your paycheck?!?!? thats still pretty good pay. got any plans for the money?

Grip72 · 07-15-2003, 12:08 PM

yeah, it all goes towards my school fund and i need brakes, a strut and a shock for my car. That's pretty much all i can afford. I NEED this money!

ShagginJet · 07-15-2003, 12:10 PM

Yeah I get taxed about 1/3 of my paycheck too, especially if I work OT. Last check was like close to $1900 before taxes, I walked with $1200

Grip72 · 07-15-2003, 12:13 PM

ya, it sucks. The more hours and money you make in a paycheck, the more tax they take away. But i should get alot of it back on my tax return because i will be going to school again and that means I'm a student. Students get a better tax return. I worked ALOT of OT!

ShagginJet: where do you work/what do u do? And how much is your wage?

With the current economy, about $64 American... lol j/k.
About 30% of my paychecks are going to be taken out as well (I get my first paycheck this Thursday, won't be nearly as much as
Accord17's though). I claimed 0 dependants on my W2 so they tax the hell out of it, but when next tax season, I'll get half of it back... So really, I'm playing like 15%, they're just holding my money for me for a little while

ya, my sis told me that since i'm goin to be in school next time tax returns roll around that i will get ALMOST ALL of my taxes back. I love tax returns! It's like money out of nowhere!

Wren57 · 07-15-2003, 11:51 PM

why don't you fill out a w4 with your employer so your taxes aren't witheld in the first place?

Grip72 · 07-16-2003, 12:32 AM

i didn't even know you could do that!

07-16-2003, 12:37 AM

one of these days i'll be smart enough to do my own taxes...

until then, i guess it'll keep going to dad inc. to be filed and sent in...

shame on me...
