If you make over a certain amount you will not get one.

I don't make a lot on retirement and SS, Stephen...........but it's enough.

So do you have to file your 2019 taxes to receive it? I have an extension on them and will file soon.

I know it doesnt make sense to wait but I hate doing it. You didnt have to have 2019 filed to get the check.

The interest I’m talking about isn’t much. It’s just the principle.

I also procrastinate on some stuff. Since I have four dependents and low taxable income, my returns are huge right now. So, that’s a big incentive to get the stuff done. And, I always use the easiest online thingy because I don’t itemize and have nothing complicated to deal with.

If you get a return every year, you can follow the instructions on your W4 and exempt yourself from any withholding. They still take SS and whatnot. But no Federal withheld. Makes a smaller return, but bigger paychecks throughout the year.

For a time in my life, I would buy on credit and then use a return to pay off debt. Lots of people do. That makes everyone rich except you. The opposite is better, get ALL of your paycheck, pay cash, pay off high interest debt, and invest in savings of some kind.

I think there’s an option to estimate your return and get it distributed to you through the year as well. I could have been dreaming that one but it would be ideal if your income and stuff is steady enough to allow that.

The goal at tax time should be to break even or have to pay some. If you owe the IRS, that’s sort of like having an interest free loan all year (assumption). I’ve never owed though.

All of the delays are due to shyty leadership, the corporations got their huge lump sums nice and early so the top level execs could have fat pockets all year long.

I'll owe a coupla thou.No biggy! Enjoyed the use of their money for several months.

On March 12, I sent a written Thank You card to a recording studio owner in Dallas after doing a session there, doing some vocal tracks on a guy's record. As a professional courtesy I like to write and tell someone they have a nice room, great engineer and thank them for their gracious hospitality, cause studio owners do go out of their way to make sure everything is major league. Dallas is maybe 50 miles from my farm and I got the card back yesterday - as undeliverable - 5 1/2 months later. I'll be delivering my mail-in ballot by hand in a ballot drop box. Thank you gummint- I got my $1200 direct deposited to my bank account on my birthday !! Dang !!!
