Me neither ... where do you get that info from?
You can choose direct deposit - which if done by a Wednesday evening will be funded the following Friday (10 days or so) right into your bank account.
Or a check...which takes forever.

Is there another way to get a quicker refund? Even if with a different service, I need it pretty quickly.You can choose direct deposit - which if done by a Wednesday evening will be funded the following Friday (10 days or so) right into your bank account.

I've used TurboTax.com for several years now and it never takes longer than like 10 days or so to get my money.
Go to irs.gov and follow the free file link to Turbo Tax from there - you go through the process of filing as you normally would, but at the end if you meet the qualifications for a free file then they don't charge you anything.Me neither ... where do you get that info from?
BTW, SW...Shouldn't you be married and filing jointly by this time next year????
That's what I have used for the past two years. I can file 1040EZ, though. I already got my refund back, little under $600.I just got my taxes done on www.taxact.com
I have used TaxAct for the past two years. The refund came faster for me with them than when I used TurboTax in the past (I always hit a snag with them about something that held things up). I filed my taxes on the 13th of Jan and my refund was in my checking account on the 20th! Super fast!

We could be saving a lot on car insurance, too.
I felt kind of funny filing Head of Household this year ... even though my son pointed out that I am the oldest living here.
Well, that's good news.We could be saving a lot on car insurance, too.
taxact.com costs $9.95
taxact.com is very easy and get the refund in 10 days or so. as long as i can use taxact..i will
I can't use it.
really, 10 days?
I know. It's only for us poor folk.I can't use it.
Yup. Direct Deposit.
I have a question.
My wife is trying to screw me on our taxes. We were going to file married jointly, I was the bread winner in the household and my wife only worked like a month. She made only $273 for the year and no Federal taxes were withheld. Can she claim our daughter as dependent and file her taxes? Im thinking of filiing by myself and keeping the whole refund myself claiming my daughter.
That 's a good question for SW. She's the accountant in here. I would guess since she only made $273 the child deduction wouldn't help or hurt her, but could benefit you. You guys just separated, right?
But again, ask SW...because I don't know crap. I'm just spouting stuff that's sounds like common sense..
Yes we separated but since she did not support the child financially how could you claim her as a dependent? She is just trying to get more money and screw me.
Only one of you can claim her....so you'd better work it out.
Or hurry up.
how can she claim her if she only made $273 and none of that money had FICA taken out?
Would she even have to file if she only made that much?

The thing is she wants to file and claim her to get the money and screw me. I dont really think she has to file but my question is can she? based on that amount and that there was not federal withheld.
If you want to fight it out in court then you can probably prove that you are the one who is rightfully en led to claim the child because you can prove you actually financially provided for and lived with the child. But That will take time and money. Like SW said, hurry and file. The first one to file generally gets it. Just file on your own without telling her and claim your daughter. But do it now before she does. Then she will be the one in the position of trying to claim she deserves to claim her. When/if you get a divorce the courts will decide all the future years. In my decree, my ex and split every other year even though my daughter lives with me. If I remember correctly it was because he thought he deserved it because he paid child support. If I had it to do over again though I wouldn't agree to that.
She can't.
When seperated/divorcing, the IRS will allow the parents to decide between themselves who gets the exemption....the IRS will honor whatever decision you reach. Lacking a mutual agreement between the two, you must fall back on the support test...which is if you provide over half the support for the individual in question. Support includes actual expenditures, such as food, clothing, child care, etc. but also includes a portion of housing and other shared expenses.
But to save all the headaches of fighting it, I'd seriously just hurry up and file.
And obviously I provided more than half with her only making $273, also we are not "legally" separated. Does that make any difference? And based on that is she en led to any of the money if I file married separted?
