Sunday afternoon Bob and I signed our tax returns. He mailed them yesterday. Now we'll wait for our tiny refunds.
The logo in the corner of this blog is a service offered by the IRS on their website. I'll give them 10 days and then I'll start using this feature to track our refund.
Many have noted the change in addresses. If you owe the IRS (you should be mailing your return close to April 15), your return and your check will travel to Cincinnati. If you are claiming a refund, your return travels to Fresno CA. These clearing houses are for residents of Illinois as well as other states but not for all states.
In Illinois, if you owe, the return goes to Springfield; however, if you anticipate $ from the state, you file in Galesburg. This is a change this year.
If you wonder why we did not efile (file electronically), I think part of the answer is that we are old fashioned. There's some ritual to putting pen to paper, signing this legal declaration of 2008 events and numbers.
I'll let you know how the IRS site helps.
'til later
