Was your return delayed?

I filed electronically on 3/7. Return accepted the next day. Federal refund is scheduled for the 27th. I have to pay $$$ for state.

I filed on 2/10 (a week before IRS started processing returns), my return was accepted on 2/18, got my return on 2/25...no state tax in Florida.

My IRS was not delayed, in fact 2 days early.

HOWEVER,  the state owed me 231 and I got 11.  This is because last year, when we were buying the house, and  LO  ordered tax transcripts, found out I didn't hit the SUBMIT button - though luckily I had paid.  IRS told me you get a freebie once for doing something assinine like this, but the state said I'd get a penalty for not filing.  Guess I got it!!

I'm not mad though....back last summer I needed those tax transcripts so bad that I swore to myself if I got them, I didn't care what fines/ fees I had to pay!  July is a great time to file in terms of turnaround time - got the transcripts within a week of filing.  I thought that was going to kill my house deal.  It was so scary.

Don't use TAXACT.  They're cheap, but not user-friendly!!
