Where's My Refund?
If you're waiting for a refund from your federal tax return, did you know that you can check your status online at the handy IRS Where's My Refund? website, or call the IRS at 1-800-829-1954?
You can also use the site to make sure your mailing address is up to date. The IRS can't send you a check if they don't have your address. And you don't want to miss out on the extra Economic Stimulus Package check this year, do you?
According to the IRS, eligible taxpayers must file a 2007 tax return in order to receive this extra rebate, and they are going to start sending out the checks in May. So, if you haven't filed your returns yet, get started now. You've only got about six weeks before the April 15 deadline, but with the free e-filing available to almost all taxpayers, and free forms available at the library, what are you waiting for?
