The Man was here last week, as we all know, but he struck again for us today. THE CHECK WAS CASHED!
For various reasons, we cannot file our federal return online but the state does accept an electronic file. And we get money back from the state and have to pay the feds.
In an ideal world, we'd get the state refund before the cash goes out to the feds; granted I should have done the taxes in February when I had all the paperwork but I didn't. So I've been crossing my fingers since April 14, hoping the state automatic deposit would be processed. It wasn't and the IRS got their cash today.
Poor Pkin, he's going to be paying for any purchases with quarters (it's a long story) and his wife didn't even make him a sandwich for his lunch. She's so bad!
