Yesterday I hit the state refund status page to see what I could see. It said that my tax return had been received and was "in process". The federal site had no information so it has not moved sufficiently through their processing to trigger any.
This is that somewhat antsy time. The time between mailing off the returns and getting back the refund. There's nothing really to be in a rush concerning ... but it's just the notion that I would like business between me and the country and the state to be concluded for yet another year.
This year the feds say that we who filed paper returns may be delayed an extra week ... up to seven weeks due to personel shortages and what have you.
I'm not too surprised. However, the simplistic nature of my paper return pretty much has me continuing to be optimistic.
I like to dispense with it all early in an effort to avoid tax return hijacks that crooks attempt to wrangle another's refund.
The wait really doesn't matter seeing how everything just goes toward known existing bills. This is my life.
