I am still waiting on some tax documents but I went ahead and filed my state and federal taxes this weekend. The documents I'm waiting on are my dividends and interest but I already have my year end statements for those accounts so I can use those figures. Normally my refund or amount I owe is only a few bucks, but my tax year is an ackward one. As such, I will be getting a refund which I elected to put into buying the savings bonds that they have decided to add on this year. Man, what a great idea that is though. The government gets an interest free loan and then, when they have to pay it back they can get you instead to agree to let them keep the money at their dictated rates. Still, I was surprised at the interest rates on the savings bonds. Way much better than what I would be able to get from my bank in terms of CDs. So I'm more than happy to participate as a means of short term liquid investment.
Anyway, I also filed an amended return for 2008 which should get me another bundle back too.
Yeah, I would repeat this notion. I have the same complexity of a tax return (multiple W2, foreign income, foreign income exclusion, tuition and grants, student loan interest payments) but I did not have any trouble doing the Turbotax software to prepare my documents. Hell, I actually had a harder time doing it in the software than I did by doing it by hand the previous years because I had to figure out which of the questions I needed to go through for the needed schedules and forms.
