Tax refund delay

(1/3) > >>

Dartful Dodger:
My tax refund was suppose to be direct deposited into my checking account on March 13th, but I still haven’t received it.

Figures it'd have to be a Friday the 13th.


I really hate the idea of calling the IRS, because it's probably just a routine delay and by calling them I'm no longer flying under their radar.

But if there is a problem or if it's been deposited into the wrong account I need to fix it.

RayB:
OK. Thank you for contacting us about this. We'll get on that right away.

You can check that sort of thing out online ya know......

And was the bank account in YOUR name ?
Double check the bank information you used. (routing number etc)

And there is a calendar out that shows that if you did your taxes on XX date you will see a deposit on or about XX date type thing.

Dartful Dodger:
When I got home after I posted this I got a monthly bank statement in the mail.

I got my refund a week before I was supposed to.  My mortgage company also cashed my check that same day.  There was a $200 difference between the two, so I didn't notice the change in my balance.  I printed out a transaction receipt on the following Friday and on Monday, but even though both transactions happened the week before, neither of them showed up on the receipt.

Phew!

An actual real job, no house, no kids, and no deductions put me over a barrel this year.

Dont cry about that too much.  Getting a refund only means you paid in too much during the year.  Its not a gift and one could argue your in better shape having that money during the year rather than floating the Gov an interest free loan.  However, for many undiciplined savers, I suppose its a way to "save" money.  But usually those same people immediately turn around and blow that refund anyway.  People often dont realize what a tax refund actually is.....a refund of money you shouldnt have had to pay in the first place.
