I'm 1/2 way to getting everything together for my tax guy. Groan.
We should get about 5,000 back, we were going to have my tubes tied and my eyes lazered (first time in 3 years I haven't been preggers or nursing). BUT now my DH is out of work until April, so we will most likely be living on it. Bummer. Life will have to continue with condoms and contacts. LOL

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a federal tax refund?
A federal tax refund is the amount of money that the IRS returns to a taxpayer when they have overpaid their taxes throughout the year. This can happen if too much tax was withheld from their paycheck or if they qualify for certain tax credits that reduce their overall tax liability.
How can I check the status of my federal tax refund?
You can check the status of your federal tax refund by visiting the IRS website and using the "Where's My Refund?" tool. You'll need to provide your Social Security number, filing status, and the exact amount of your refund to access your information.
How long does it take for a federal refund to be direct deposited?
Typically, if you e-file your tax return and choose direct deposit, you can expect your refund to be deposited within 21 days. However, processing times can vary based on factors such as the complexity of your return and whether the IRS needs additional information.
What should I do if my federal refund has not been deposited yet?
If your federal refund has not been deposited within the expected timeframe, you should first check the status using the IRS "Where's My Refund?" tool. If it shows that your refund has been issued but you haven't received it, contact your bank to ensure there are no issues with your account. If necessary, you can also reach out to the IRS for further assistance.
What information do I need to provide to check my refund status?
To check your refund status, you will need your Social Security number, your filing status (single, married filing jointly, etc.), and the exact amount of your refund as shown on your tax return. This information helps the IRS accurately locate your refund status.
