Thursday our tax refund appeared in our bank account. We mailed our returns February 22.
We did not e-file but we did request direct deposit. The word is that filing early shortens the wait but also that direct deposit can cut your wait by 2-3 weeks.
Better still would be to owe Uncle Sam a little. The refund was our $ all along. It was withheld over the year so the government had an interest free loan from us. It is not our goal to save $ through taxes.
We will adjust our withholdings in the middle of the year and again in the fall. Why should we have $ not working for us just sitting in the government tills.
'til later

- Greetings! I have years, no decades, of financial experiences to share. I have a passion for education. I am a control freak in that I need to know where my $ goes. I continually ask myself do we need that, what risks are we taking with that investment, how/when can we get at our $, and just how much does Uncle Sam demand of our every earned $. Stay tuned to my life choices now and my references to life choices/experiences from my past.
