11:11 pm - I estimated my taxes on a calculator
And yes, I only based it on old pay stubs and the like, so I understand my mileage may vary once I get 1099s and W-2s back. I did factor in the grant I used for Winter quarter, as well as the stimulus payment and any freelance income I accrued.
And the calculator told me I'd be due for a refund of $[HOLY SHIT].
It was such a large number that, even if it's ultimately several hundred dollars less, it would still give me quite a haul, like a "take two weeks off and go on a real vacation" haul or "completely rebuild your savings while bombing a chunk of your debt" haul or "start a poker bankroll for real" haul. And that's if the calc overestimated my return by several hundred dollars.
But then again, I remember doing a calc one year that told me I'd be due a few hundred dollars, and when I ultimately filed I ended up owing a few bucks, so I try not to get too excited.
