You know, Illinois really ....ed me off this year. They sent me a notice saying they are trying to cut down on people filing over the phone and to do it over the internet this year.
Excuse me? What makes them so damn sure I have internet access?
They usually send me a telephone thingie. You know, so I can do it over the phone. 123 it's done and I get my money. Now they tell me I'm obsolete.
I'm going to chew them out...after I get my return.
PS. That's only state not Federal that sent me that notice
We dont get any refund from taxes that we over-paid [we dont pay any during the year], but we do get these extras from either EIC or in this case the 'Child Tax Credit'.
So for us, the Federal Income tax means that each year the government pays us.
Yeah, that is right. Married folks do have a big advantage when it comes to finances.
Two or more can living as a household can live cheaper than as individuals. And our government does things to encourage couples to marry and stay together [Married joint being the best filign status].
Our tax-system also encourages home-ownership, tithing, and having dependant family-members.
The IRS just said that more than 3 million returns have been processed so far this year using the new Free File programs available on its Web site, www.irs.gov.
"Those who file paper returns are now in the minority", IRS Commissioner Mark Everson told an audience at the National Press Club in Washington.
Hurry and get those returns in, filing deadline April 15.

New York state was $19.95
Oh Glo-ray
I'm surprised this thread got so little hits. You really do get something free here. :)-->

We are done with ours.
The 'Child Tax Credit' gave us $2441. Cool.

Which is kind of cool.

Can I get a child tax credit for my cats?
Wow, that giveaway program definitely works against single folks with no kids.
It takes a village.

Well since the tax system encourages more and more children, I think I'll pick up a few for tax reduction purposes.
ha!
