I didn't see it when my daughter was doing her's.  Sorry if I mislead anyone. 

She ended up using E-file and it took her automatically to the 1040A because she bought a new car last year and got some credits for those sales taxes too.  I didn't have the EZ book though, only the forms and I never saw the credit.

I just pulled the spare form out of the trash and checked, it's line 8

Try the e-file system, it works really well.  The kid had her check in five days and didn't have to worry about the forms too much.

Yep. Thing is, even as a libertarian, I don't even mind paying. I tithe to my Church, pay dues to every club I've ever joined (except this one which is free ) and so it does not bother me in principle to pay a third of my income to be a citizen of the US of A rather than some sh*t hole wanna-be nation.  I think I get my money's worth. All I want is for that money to be used wisely and not pissed away. I guess I should also start believing in unicorns.

Yes, I'm done....but I never pass up a chance to tell someone to shut up...

Me too....I've done every year since 1973, even during the years I owned a home.  As to the refund, I only got a couple hundred bucks back from the feds because of the aformentioned credit.  I haven't gotten a refund for at least twenty years myself.  My wife is disabled so her SSI is taxable based on my income.  I try and break even which I manage to do pretty regularly.

The state gave me back a bit but I owe them money from 2006, apparently I made a boo, boo!  Net gain?  What's that?

Had to wait until all the paperwork arrived.  Then I just waited for no good reason.  I know I'm going to send some loot to the thieves in DC so I am not all that motivated to get the job finished.  I have a pretty good CPA who actually does the deed for me in exchange for even more of my hard-earned.  I really hate this time of year.  Crap.

And that check question...  The answer is:  it's what you send along with the filled-out return.
