Barack Was Gonna Save Us All

I figured while I had all y’all’s feathers ruffled I’d go ahead and put a few more of my friends on the chopping block over our tax refund.  We filed.  Correctly.  It was accepted.  We were given a direct deposit date.  Then they moved it.  And moved it again.  And moved it again.  Now for some of y’all that aren’t livin’ paycheck to paycheck and that the economy is not affecting at all just look the other way.  For us, this is a frustrating waiting game.  And when you google this, you’ll realize it’s not just a couple of folks that are stumped and in a hard spot waiting on that return.  Where is the word on this?  Are you watching the news?  Because I am, and I haven’t heard one word about it.  But it’s all over the internet.  I don’t remember this problem in the last few years, do you?

    since matt had 2 jobs in ’08 we had to file both. which means we had to wait for the other employer to get it to us before we could file. we filed and now here we are waiting. they’ve moved our date 4 times so far. go google it, girl, i was amazed to find out it wasn’t just our isolated incident. and they’re not “officially” withholding them. it’s just that they are continuing to move back the deposit date with no explanation. for a lot of people. coincidence, right?

    Ugh.. the government can be so infuriating! When you’ve got the few people that hold almost all of the world’s wealth heading up OUR money issues… it’s no wonder we get outcomes like this. I don’t even think we’ve filed ours yet.. I am not looking forward to seeing what my self-employment tax is going to be. :s I’m guessing anything we get back that was withheld from Clayton’s check will be going right back to the government. Ah well.. whatcha gonna do, right?

    Hope they stop pushing the dates back… how frustrating!

    that’s weird. i haven’t read up but i know govt’ things are frustrating, with or without BO… but we e filed a couple of weeks ago and got our little bit o’ dough before 2 weeks was up with no issues. hmmmmm????? and somehow i don’t think the stimulus package will affect us little peons one way or the other. :) not high enough on the totem pole.

  • Maury Draper

    Oh yeah, and we did get our money back already too. I was actually suppose to be here tomorrow, but Clay said it went through on Friday.

    okay, now – not really Obama’s fault – they just passed the stimulus package, and he signs it tomorrow, so… it’s probably the IRS that is being goofy. I’m sorry, friend – I can’t imagine how frustrating that is! We never get a refund, being a pastor is really goofy with the IRS – he’s considered self-employed, sort-of, so we have to pay quarterly and some years we’ve even owed more than we thought – gotta love tax season. =)

    jill – i do feel for ya. matt’s brother has always had to pay so much. i’ve always felt so bad for them. seems unfair for you guys.

    kidding about the stimulus package – i know that it has nothing to do with that – just ironic to me.

    y’all are all suckers for already getting y’all’s. maybe chickadee was onto something…
