I've had my W-2 for a minute. Just haven't gotten around to gettin' my taxes done. Figure I'll use some of my refund to start payin' back these student loans.

My dad does my taxes :)

I'm single, no kids, and I make just over 2k per bi-weekly paycheck and get taxed 30+%; getting back 1.4k per check. I made only 850 in the stock market this year, and I just did my taxes. I get a whopping refund of $30. Fuck Uncle Sam.

Just did mine yesterday...didn't expect much back but the new American Opportunity Credit helped me out a lot.

IRS said:
Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), more parents and students will qualify over the next two years for a tax credit, the American Opportunity Credit, to pay for college expenses.

The American Opportunity Credit is not available on the 2008 returns taxpayers are filing during 2009. The new credit modifies the existing Hope Credit for tax years 2009 and 2010, making the Hope Credit available to a broader range of taxpayers, including many with higher incomes and those who owe no tax. It also adds required course materials to the list of qualifying expenses and allows the credit to be claimed for four post-secondary education years instead of two. Many of those eligible will qualify for the maximum annual credit of $2,500 per student.

The full credit is available to individuals whose modified adjusted gross income is $80,000 or less, or $160,000 or less for married couples filing a joint return. The credit is phased out for taxpayers with incomes above these levels. These income limits are higher than under the existing Hope and Lifetime Learning Credits.
