2021 Tax Return Filed

Ours also. 9th. year using Turbo tax was super easy. Completed the process in about 20 minutes & efiled it. Small refund will be sent directly to our checking account.

Soc. Sec. sent the 1099r forms early in Jan. Fidelity has all the 1099r forms & interest & dividend forms ready to print on Jan. 21. Unlike before when we had to wait for forms to show up in the mail then fill out the paper work for filing, that no longer happens.

Nice! I only have about half the tax statements & paperwork so far and we only got mail delivered once last week. Maine is low on the Covid scale but our Post Office is toast! We are able to pick it up at the actual Post Office in town but we don't go that way every day.

I had been direct depositing the refunds in my wife's bank. They closed the branch so the routing code was invalid. Decided to sent them to my pension account, that's where I do all my fibancials anyway. Technology is great as long as there's no problems. This is the earliest I've ever filed, the last of the forms came Saturday.
 
Filed Saturday got this today.

Great news.

Your federal tax return was accepted by the IRS.

What this means

You're officially finished filing your federal taxes – nicely done!
What's next

Once your refund is issued – typically in 3 weeks or less – it will be on its way to being all yours via your preferred delivery method.

**************************************************************

I remember years ago waiting for all the documentation, then the hours spent making sure the all the forms were filled out exactly right. When I went to the library to get the forms & instruction booklet for the latest changes I always got at least two extra forms. Nothing was as simple as it is now. 20 minutes now vs. many hours back then.
 
We have to wait for our form 1099 from our brokerage firm. It will come about Feb 15th.

Have used H&R Block software for years. Works for me.
 
Good for you! I have to wait for the 1099s from the brokerages to be ready, probably in a couple of weeks. I have the other documentation I'll need at my fingertips. I'll use H & R Block Tax Cut and it will be fairly easy. Since I expect to have to pay, I'll probably do mine in early March.

Turbo Tax easy to use , obviously with quick results. We don't get a large return because I have deductions set up so that we get the small return. I'd rather spend during the year than let the government use our money, then return a large amount without paying interest.
 
I downloaded the H & R Block program from Amazon. I used to get the DVD, but I'm pleasantly surprised at how easy the download went...no glitches like I'd read about in prior years. I'm working on them slow but sure. All I'm waiting for now is the1099 from one of my brokerages which should be ready in a couple of days. I'll probably finish up sooner than originally planned
 
My husband volunteers at a food pantry/ free store for needy people. He does all the treasury work and, his main thing for the past few years --he does the client's taxes. Many of them had never filed because they didn't earn much, if any, income, but they all suddenly had to file in order to get the stimulus checks.

He's done literally thousands of people's taxes and I've had to hear about every one of them over dinner ("they also serve...")

Anyway. Bless his heart, he finally told me an interesting one yesterday:

Some woman, who doesn't work, got a $14,000 refund due to the child tax credit!
 
I filed our taxes a few days ago, and should be getting a modest refund....both Federal and State. However, given the reports of staffing shortages at the IRS, and even our State, I don't expect the refunds any time soon. Usually, I get a check within 2 or 3 weeks, but this year, I will be surprised if the refunds come by mid to late March.
 
Just dropped mine off at the CPAs office last week so it will be a while until everything is ready. I usually owe a small amount to the feds so I'm in no rush to get the return filed.
 
The accountant called to tell me that he E-filed my income tax returns today.

I asked him to email me the State and Federal payment vouchers so I could write the checks and get them into the mail.

He refused and said he would mail them with my tax package, followed by a long lecture explaining why I shouldn't be so quick to pay the amount I owe, blah, blah, blah.

In the next breath, he mentioned that he would email me his invoice with a breakdown of his fee. :giggle:

Anyway, it's done for another year!

Replying to my earlier post, my taxes are now filed. As usual I owed a small amount but it was otherwise okay.
