I got to claim first-time home buyer against it this year. It was a small stipend, but it was enough to give me a $1,700 refund. I bought a TCL 55" Q7 QLED TV with it. First new TV since I bought my Xbox 360. Pairs nicely with FF7 Rebirth.

Hey, as long as youre happy with the TCL. I've done a ton of research on TVs, picture quality, picture type, and who the best budget mid-range and high-end TV makers are. RTings came in clutch. For the $800 CAD ($550 USD) price range, it's either Hisense or TCL for quality and price to performance. Any of the premium models have fewer features in this price range. You're not going to get a Samsung, LG, or Sony TV that has 4K 120 Hz with 144 Hz overdrive mode, 4 HDMI ports (4K 60Hz eARC), HDR10+, Dolby Atmos, 1000 nits peak brightness, etc. They'll have some, but not all. I wasn't looking at spending a lot of money on a TV. --- Face it Cloud is a gaming icon and has appered in lots of games while mario has only appeared in 2 games sunshine and 64~xSlashbomBx ...

The LG C3 is a phenomenal TV, with excellent black levels and an OLED display.

I got a 55" TCL a few years back and have been pretty happy with it for what I paid.
My only complaint is that the battery life in the remote sucks for some reason. I don't even use the remote very much but a couple of AAA batteries don't even last me a year. --- Save for your doomed future ... Copied to Clipboard!

Between state and federal getting back over $8k this year, feels pretty good. Was nervous because of all the income from capital gains and rental but also paid a LOT in expenses and crap so the rental income was basically wiped out lol.

If your refund is that big, your taxes aren't set up correctly The withholdings are, but aren't. My wife's state taxes are withheld but we get it reimbursed at the end of the year, it's just easier than dealing with all the paperwork the state requires to get an exemption (and you have to submit that paperwork every year, too, so it's not really that convenient). Similarly I could just stop tax withholding for my military pay but I would prefer to keep it going for now especially as I branch out and get more non-military pay that *is* taxed. It's just easier to keep pushing tax returns the way I've been doing this whole time than try to play a numbers game. --- RS3: UltimaSuende https://letterboxd.com/BMovieBro/ ... Copied to Clipboard!

I usually end up getting a refund around $900 total from my taxes. I don't remember a first time house buyer claim, but it's been nearly 5 years since I bought my house so I've probably forgotten it by now. I hate doing my taxes since they confuse me with their wording sometimes, but paying someone else to do it would just greatly reduce my return. I'm going to try getting started next weekend, though.
