Over two months as an intern, I didn't make anything significant, so I'm expecting a refund from Kansas. Erica filled out the online return and I ended up owing $48. LifeWay had already taken out $51 from my paycheck for Kansas tax, so my refund is a whoppin' $3.
Well, I'm feeling optimistic. $3 is better than nothing. I can buy myself a chai latte at Starbucks or something. Then Erica sees the note:
Overpayment of less than $5 will not be refunded.
You have the option of donating the payment to one of the following charities ...
So my $3 is now going to Senior Citizens Meals on Wheels.
Yeah, you can laugh. Thanks, Kansas, for giving me another reason not to miss you! Well, I'm glad it went to a good cause. And I'm also glad because I'll be meeting my standard deduction and thus itemizing for 2010, so I can count this as part of my charitable giving. :) Win-win.

Alyssa, I'll be getting my (greater than $5) refund from Kansas. Normally, I turn around and use that money to pay what I owe Missouri, but, if it makes you feel better, I could set $3 of it back to buy you a latte next time I'm in Nashville. It'd be my pleasure. :)
ReplyDeleteWish I was as aware of my finances at your point in life.

I should have claimed you. I would have saved $1,500 and would have gladly shared some with you!
