Just clicked the e-file button.
This is the second year in a row that I will be getting a refund. It kinda makes me nervous even though I know I did everything right. I really hate that the IRS can instill that much fear in a person. >:(
-
I heard they were STILL straightening out their forms since the Congr-ASS was so late finishing up their work. There are some things you still can't file.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I bet Charlie Rangel will be using that one.

Good one.

Well I did get a confirmation email stating that the IRS wasn't accepting returns until Feb. 14. So they are going to be sitting on my money for at least another month. >:(

No lie! I did mine a couple of weekends ago. When was the last time the govt. was late processing them?
Just another regime blunder. I hope they don't decide to hand out IOUs, like in the Kalifornia.
-
TOLD JA SO! If it's anything more than a 1040 Simple form they probably can't handle it yet.

I just had mine done last week. If you itemize you have to wait. My accountant is doing returns same as always for all of his clients, it's just he is not filing them until the IRS gives the green light. Bill T.

I'm waiting for that to happen.

We did ours the other day, and yep, we have to wait till they start processing.

I'm getting a fairly good one this year, so I'll probably split it up. Half into a savings account for a rainy day, and the other half into my Ameritrade account. See if I can't make something more out of it. ::)

I was told today that my truck needs a new fuel pump. That's probably more than any refund I'll get.
-
Holy Shit Batman!
Got two thirds of my returns done, CT and Federal, and will be getting back a bit of what they've stolen in 2010.
That doesn't happen very often!

Spent 1/2 a beautiful day grinding out taxes. Our income and expenses, tax deductions and credits, have not changed. But guess what?
I am thankful for my pittance of a refund. (We used to get fat refunds),....I happy I don't owe. Next year I'll probably owe.
Make too much to get a break, don't make enough to feel comfortable.
Where's the @*%&#(#( Fair and/or Flat Tax.... 35 pages, itemized, the mortgage deduction, as a proud American homeowner, is getting cut to almost nothing.
Thankfully, my wife LLC'd and we can deduct a bunch as a net loss, even though she works full time. The scam is getting worse.
I need an Excedrin and a damn beer. >:(
-
I got nothing, I own nothing, I owe very little. The only reason I do the 1040A is because of my wifes disability check and I'm filing jointly.
My Federal taxes took about an hour, my CT about an hour, my MA will take about an hour...I've always done my own taxes except for one year since 1973.
I try to break even but I'm getting a bit more back, mainly I suspect, because my health plan costs me a fortune and it's pre-tax...
-
All I have to worry about is the fed. I rarely get more than a couple of hundred back. I always play it close to the vest during the year on withholding. I need my money on my check, not at the end of the year.
-
Mine are going to be so screwed up this year.... I've been putting it off as long as I can.

Mine too. I itemize so no hurry so far. I retired and with the funds moving from this fund to that fund it's a fustercluk. Plus I took out a large lump sum and have to bend over for that one - even though I did already before the money got to my hands.
Being double screwed by the feds is so FUN!

Don't be a fool. Guns are a better, and safer investment. Buy a couple real nice rifles and you will , based on the last 10 years get a much better return on investment than any bank will pay.
This is so widely known that even Time Magazine , and Bloomberg Report have had articles about it.

TB speaks fact here. Remember the "Bank Of Boulder" that used to advertise Weatherby Mark V Rifles in lieu of interest for CD deposits in all of the gun magazines? At one time back in the late 80's and early 90's they were the biggest dealer of Weatherby factory rifles in the country. So much so there were several other banks in Minnesota and the Midwest who copied the format. There was even a "60 Minutes" segment done on them.
You would put "X" number of dollars in their bank in an FDIC insured account for "X" number of months. Instead of paying you interest on the money over time, they would give you a brand new Weatherby Mark V rifle in your choice of caliber. You would get the gun immediately and they would hold your money for the required amount of time. It wasn't a bad deal at all for someone with a few bucks looking for a nice rifle.
No one offers this anymore. I suspect low interest rates, along with the current high price of the Weatherby Mark V DeLuxe, would require the money to be tied up way too long today as compared to back then. Also, with political correctness running amok, it is less desirable for banks and other institutions to do so. Who knows, perhaps the FDIC put pressure on them? Regardless it was yet another good thing that went the way of the $1.00 gallon of gas. Bill T.

A hell of a lot more fun too.
