I checked on my 2010 tax return today. It was accepted electronically on Feb 12, 2011. After a long hold the service agent told me that it had been held up due to an "Offer in Compromise" That was settled in 1997. In 1998, 99, 2000, and 2001, i had to caLL and talk to an IRS specialist to get my refund released. Now it comes up this many years later. HOW? I told the service agent that someone should be fired for that. 10 years later and they bring up somehthing it took me four years to close,10 years ago.

I pay more in deductions than my tax obligation because with a salaried job and paycheck, I had rather have it on hand in the IRS's hands than have to come up with it on April 15. The interest that I lose is insignificant in todays checking account, CD, or any other interest bearing security. It protects me, not them.

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

Let's see....paint the house....put $$ back into the repair account for a large window that was shot out with a bb last Nov by the 11yo next door just before the snow came and came and came....  The insurance company issued us a check in Dec for the new window and the repair...we bought the window ($3,500) and now need to have a contractor come in and do the work (about $4k)...but...seems wifey has been chipping away at the $$...so....there goes my return...... :'(

I won't, can't pay that much for an acre of land. Geez, do you need a yardboy? I do some carpentry and finish work and believe I could figure out how to install the window.  ;D  ear

SO I was on AOL (can I say that here? not sure if it is a banned site for some reason)
And it had the Presidents income tax there.  Said he was getting a little over 12,000 back in taxes.
If he thinks we need to be paying higher taxes and that the rich, like him need to pay more, why did he file for a return and not donate it to the governmet?  lead by example.  Show that the rich do not need it?
So will any of the 4th estate ask him about it?  Will they bully him into giving up his return like they would if a Republican were asking for the same thing?

All of it goes to reduce highest interest debt.

Refund?  I havent had one of those since Obama took over from Bush.  Owed 1100 last tax day and this one I have the fine partriotic priveledge (at least Biden said it was patriotic) of paying just over 1600.00 more than they took out.  What a deal!  I feel like I have been violated...

I claim "0" with holding, have extra deducted, and still wound up in the hole.  Never figured how folks get money back.  Of course, I have few deductions, house is paid for, so I wind up short form. :-\
