You know it’s tax return time when guns are flying off the shelves.

I have not gotten a tax refund in decades so no tax refund funded goodies for me.

Actually, our tax return will go in the bank and sit there until next fall. Then we'll pay our property taxes with it. In other words, we'll "return" our tax return to the government in the fall.

Round and round she goes but nobody knows...........

I pay taxes.
I'll use my money before they do!

So no guns from tax returns but that will not stop me from buying!

....for every person getting "free monies" from a tax refund, there is one having to dig deep to pay in. So, while the one has monies for guns, the other doesn't. Kinda a wash. This is why many retailers have sales right now, because so many are worried about income taxes and paying the remainder of their property taxes. Like many here, I have my taxes figured out close enough that I pretty much break even between state and federal. Gun money is the same as it is all year. If I see something I want, I buy it. Lately, I have a hard time finding anything I want to buy.

my lgs used gun shelves are quite full and almost everytime i visit i hear somebody's looking into selling their gun. there are always people buying as well but i think for the past few months a lot of people have had to sell guns for one reason or another.
i am retired and have been doing my own estimated quarterly payments. my accountant again made a mistake in my return that they have to correct but it looks like i am about 0.4% refund out of my tax payments so i am doing it rght. i don't like giving the irs a tax free loan especially when they are quick to penalize you if you underpay by more than $1000. that refund amount is only good for 1000 rds of 9 mm on sale or a holosun 407 for my ruger mark 4. that small refund will drop in my bank account unnoticed.

I just bought a Sig Emperor Scorpion full size. Very happy with it!!

And here I am with a nice return this year, paying off my mortgage like a sucker.

Yeah, that's us too. I was mostly joking (just whining) about our income tax refunds being used to pay our property taxes. I mean yeah, we do that, but we've paid our property taxes that way for years. And it has nothing to do with our so-called "gun budget" - which we've never had anyway. When either my wife or I run across a gun we want, we buy it. One of the reasons we can do that is because we know we have the money to pay our property taxes (and our home-owners insurance) sitting in the bank in an account we don't touch until fall - when the property taxes and homeowners-insurance come due.
Like you though, neither my wife nor I have run across any guns we particularly want lately. And I'm getting kinda desperate because I have a birthday (76th) coming up - I need to find a gun that my wife can buy for me as a birthday gift.

 

[bassjam]

I'm breaking even with taxes, which is what I try to do because I hate giving the government interest free loans!

I'm getting a nice bonus from work, but most of that is going towards a car for my soon to be 16 year old. Shes been doing extra chores over the past year and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. But if there's any left over I really want to pick up a S&W 686.

I don't know why paying off your mortgage makes you a "sucker." I've always felt that the day we paid off our mortgage was one of the happiest days of my wife's and my lives.
Just remember to set aside some money to pay your property taxes and homeowners insurance (if those things have been part of your mortgage payments) when they come due. That way you can buy the guns you want, when you want them without worrying about how you're going to pay your property taxes and homeowner's insurance come fall.

I just picked up a Ruger Mark II Target in stainless and a Single Six, also stainless. I hopefully pick up the single six tonight at my shop, but of course I usually get delayed on the 4473 so might not be til next week.

 

[MacAR]

I picked up a Taurus G2s 9mm for the wife, and a Taurus 1911 Commander 45 for myself, as well as a Husqvarna 16 gauge hammer gun. All were what I thought were good deals, and we had the money. We don't normally get much of a refund but this year we had enough to pay what we needed to pay for with a little left over for "goodies".

I'm one of those folk who feel I screwed up if I get a income tax return refund. When SAM starts paying interest on tax prepayments maybe then I'll change.

You probably meant "income tax refund", but I get your point.

That was thoroughly tongue in cheek on my part.

We are 12 years in on a 30 year mortgage with 1.5 years to go.

Ideally you should have very little for a tax return or have to pay a little extra. When people tell.me they're getting a big tax return I always ask, "did you enjoy lending that money.to.the government for zero interest"?

.04 = $1000 … I thought we paid a lot in taxes
