Uncle Sam just took a giant bite out of my C10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

JesseSimon · 03-03-2009, 03:28 PM

Well, looks like my plans to get started on my c10 just got derailed! Did my taxes last night, looks like 6 brutal months of 3am paper routes as a second job Just cost me a grand. I watched my tax refund go from $900 down to -$950...unbelievable....

Anyone else feel like you gotta be a CEO of a horribly run company to get a help in hard times?

Anyway bye-bye nice new wood bed!

DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A TRUCK FROWN?

**SactoJim** · 03-03-2009, 03:31 PM

Nothing like being penalized for working harder.

I feel your pain my friend!

Stock72c10 · 03-03-2009, 03:50 PM

Welcome to the real world! Enjoy those nice roads your taxes helped build

At least your truck taxes should be pretty low (tags & taxes only run $17/year here in KS).

JesseSimon · 03-03-2009, 03:52 PM

Arkansas roads are terrible...

imholte · 03-03-2009, 03:59 PM

You need to change your w-4 so that the gov takes out more money each check, that way you pay the tax over the whole year and not all at once.

Actually it cost you 1850

JesseSimon · 03-03-2009, 04:32 PM

You're very right it did cost me 1850. I dont get a W-4, its a 1099 MSC. Newspaper companies screw the carriers by not employing them but signing them as independent contractors. So you pay taxes as a self-employed person would.

weircc · 03-03-2009, 04:41 PM

lol i think your truck looks like Sylvester Stallone's lip

GOPAPA · 03-03-2009, 04:52 PM

Bummer about your Income taxes .. You arn't alone on that one .

As for the frown on your truck ,yep ! it does look like a frown ..and while we are imagining what it looks like ..How about the Elvis Lip ?

greygoose · 03-03-2009, 04:56 PM

Keep your head up buddy,it's only a test of your faith to see if you really love these trucks.

hchad18 · 03-03-2009, 04:58 PM

Had the same happened here but wasn't the government it was the dentist. Had a couple hundred to stimulate the engine rebuilders economic situation, but now its going to the dentist. At least its for bling somewhere, you just wont be able to see it in the back of my mouth.

kinda looks like Billy Idol's lip

big_al_71 · 03-03-2009, 06:13 PM

I would much rather owe, I have not had a refund in I dont know how many years.....

JesseSimon · 03-03-2009, 06:23 PM

It does kinda look like Sly or Elvis. Good call....I dunno much about Idol, I was a little guy in his day.

Idol is younger than both Sly and Elvis...

msgross · 03-03-2009, 06:26 PM

Did you even make that much on the paper route? I pay about 10% tax on each paycheck..

Tri-pro automotive is having a sale on those grilles right now inthe parts board. They are a little dull but nicer than yours and cheap.

67_C-30 · 03-03-2009, 06:32 PM

I deal with the same thing with my swimming business. It takes my wife and I both claiming Single, and "0" at our regular jobs to offset the taxes, but the extra income is more than worth it.

Castiron9 · 03-03-2009, 07:01 PM

Paper Route???????????You still have a paper to deliver I thought New's paper's were becoming extinct.At least here in Seattle they are...One news paper going under...Times are Changing...........

norske · 03-03-2009, 07:23 PM

If I become a CEO, I only want to make $249,999.99, so I won't need a second job to pay taxes.

**leddzepp** · 03-03-2009, 07:31 PM

Whatever Obama gives me, Arnold just takes away

dan42 · 03-03-2009, 07:38 PM

Yup - good old California

**mr48chev** · 03-03-2009, 07:41 PM

I would imagine that you have claimed every available expense that goes along with delivering the papers.

When I was selling life insurance many years and about 4 careers ago I got paid under a similar system and had to keep track of everything that I spent for work. Some are deductible and some aren't but I'd sure investigate it before paying out the money.
We have no extra deductions that we can claim as we rent and the kids are grown so we both have taxes taken out for single claiming zero during the year and manage to get a decent refund.

thirdstreettito · 03-03-2009, 08:20 PM

I love getting taxed for the harder I work, I guess you just have to sit on your but and somehow make lots of money

67ChevyRedneck · 03-03-2009, 08:40 PM

Sorry man

I can't complain about uncle sam this year, he gave me damn near $5,300 back this year (fed & state).
