i found out im not getting the amount of money as stated on my tax return website.
i did my taxes for the 1st time by myself this year. had fun. all these other places were saying i was only going to get like $17-$25 back. all because i claimed 1 all year. everyone else claims 0 and get more money taken out to get a bigger return. sorry, i like all of my money now. not wait a full year and have to file paperwork to get it. but the site i did my reutrn on says im getting $377 back. heck yeah.
after i finish, i wait a couple of days and then go to irs.gov to figure out when ill be getting it. it says no later than February 24th. this made me happy. especially since i knew i was getting more back. yay.
2 days ago i check the irs.gov again just to be sure its not an error. this time....."you should expect your return no later than March 3rd." wtf? 2 days in a row i call and talk to someone(i didnt know they stayed open til 11pm. who knew?). i called a total of like 8 or 9 times. why that many you ask? because you have to go thru the automated crap. and if you dont press the right buttons, then you'll just get another automated message. i wanted to talk to someone.
so i just got off the phone with someone from the IRS. he actually goes in depth as to why it took longer. remember that tax rebate we got last year? i got back $477 for that. i put that i only got $350. like i said, this is my 1st time doing my own taxes. lol. i had no clue and i wasnt about to pay the companies like H&R Block and Jackson Hewett $90 on a return that i was only getting $17 back. he told me thats why it got moved back.
theres a good and a bad to this.
the bad: my return got reduced to $177-$179. sucks but its better than the $17 that H&R Block said i was getting back.
the good: im getting $177 back. and can receive an earned income credit of $27 in addition to that
its not much but its something. lol.
so once again, my plans for my cb have been moved back. sucks, but a nice car takes time to build. id rather not rush thru this car being that its the best one ive had in the best condition. *sigh*.....Spec A-III, you'll be sinister soon enough....
