I know it is Easter Sunday and many people are enjoying time with their families or simply just relaxing at home. Instead of doing a simple link round up today I wanted to try something new and open up a discussion about income tax returns. The other day I wrote an article about some options for spending your income tax return. A few readers joined the discussion to share their thoughts on how they plan on spending their income tax return money. My question for the day is how does your income tax return compare to the average of $2,500?
Please feel free to share your thoughts and if you don’t feel like typing then by all means provide a link to an article on your blog about the topic. Anyways on to some of my favorite articles of the week:
Green Panda Tree house talks about understanding the fine print. I know nobody wants to read the fine print but when you think about the amount of money involved you may change your mind.
Pat at Smart Passive Income has just completed his free series on how to publish an ebook. For anyone that has ever even considered writing an ebook this series is for you.

My return was close to that figure. But that isn’t really accurate since included my stimulus check from last year that I never got. It sucks that the avg is so high. Better than the avg owing money I guess.
My return was nearly 7k because of the first-time homebuyer credit. I missed the 8k in free money by about 3 months. How lame is that.
Thanks for the mention! My return was nowhere near that figure, but I have a weird return, anyway – lots of excessive deductions and my odd business income that always come dangerously close to triggering AMT.
I’ve learned a lot from this site – I hope you continue writing because I love your stuff!
