NewMexiKen does not usually have an income tax refund coming — I prefer not to loan money to the government interest free — but for various reasons this year was different.
So I went ahead and got my taxes done using TurboTax, deciding for the first time (because it was free and I had money coming) to use e-file. I filed my federal return electronically around 10:30 this morning.
At 6:30 this evening I got a confirmation that my return had been accepted by the IRS and my refund would be deposited in my checking account next Friday (the 6th).
Cool.
I’ve learned not to e-file. It is too easy to send off an erroneous return! Having to screw around with all those numbers transcribing them helps me find errors. Especially in the capital gains section.
