We usually get over $2000 per year. I put it down to me being a dependant (I don't earn a cent) and that we have 3 children But DH does pay a huge amount in tax... also DH claims losses in shares and property... and home office depreciation gets quite a bit back too.... ETA: DH has done his own tax return online for the past two years.... that has saved us a fair bit too.
I'm worried this year though because he left his old job of 22 years (and got his long service leavce paid out) that we might actually incur a BILL!!! eeeek! we've never had that before!
