Filed!

February 9th, 2008 at 09:20 pm

I already did my tax return, but was waiitng for all the 1099s to pour in - to double check everything.

Anyway, I always do my tax return like 1/31 (in this case I think I started in 12/31/2007 because I had all my data in Quicken). But I usually figure the return, and rush to file in case of refund. Wait to April in case of payment.

E-file changes all that. You can file early but don't have to send in your check until April 15th. Which is sweet since no matter what I always get a state refund. I only withhold $50/paycheck now. Still refund! But I am not going to lower my withholding any further...

So I saw that these rebates will be issued in order 2007 tax returns were filed. Figured I'd better get on the ball. (Got all my 1099s as of last week).

I'll get a $62 state refund, to be exact. But $1182 due to the Feds, to be exact.

I'll get the refund in a couple of weeks.

I'll mail my IRS check April 15th. Big Grin

& now I have secured my place in line, for rebate. Yay! We'll see if this is true...

Which reminds me, I know they are saying May to start mailing out rebates. But wow, I really wouldn't hold my breath. We'll see but the IRS is SWAMPED!!!!!!! The government sure has put a lot on them the last couple of months, and they were already swamped, as is. Which makes MY life difficult. Blech. I mean it's impossible to resolve anything with them these days without "We'll get back to you in 6 weeks about your simple inquiry - we have a backlog." Anyway, I think Congress and government has been pushing for April rebates. Maybe it was the IRS who said, "are you kidding??? May at the earliest!" So maybe May it is. But we'll see.

    Congratulations on getting it done, and way to go timing everything just so! I already know we'll owe ... a good thing since we're self-employed Smile ... so I was going to put off doing our return, but now I'm rethinking.

    I too feel a bit sorry for the IRS this year (imagine that) what with the last-minute AMT patch and the refunds coming hot on the heels of getting returns processed.
