Expensive Gratification

Do not fall for those rapid refund deals at some tax preparers. They have to fully reveal the costs of these deals. Check it out before you agree, please.

You have wonderful options like filing electronically and/or getting direct deposit of refunds.

Bob and I paper filed February 22 and our federal refund appeared in our bank account March 20.

A friend electronically filed on line without cost on March 23 and on March 28 her federal refund appeared in her bank account. She was surprised how easy the free process was. She got linked to the software (I think it was TurboTax) through irs.gov. Free.

Delay gratification and save your $.

'til later
