I guess we will pray about it...

...and by necessity some may go in the gas tanks. It's like burning money, isn't it?

I want to get a Kindle from Amazon.com, but in reality I'll probably pay bills. A cow isn't a bad idea though.

Hey, that's what I'm gonna do. Honeymoon in Rome will swallow it in a day or two.

First time to see "Wicked?" If so, be prepared to be blown away!!! I have to admit, "Wicked" is an obsession of mine...I absolutely love it! I saw it on Broadway and I'd see again and again! Can't wait to hear what you thought of it!!

Enjoy Chicago, it's is one of the greatest cities in the US! I am a bit bias, I did grow up there, but I do think it is a great city with all the wonderful things to do and see there. Be sure to get a slice of Giordano's Pizza!!

Yellow~ yeah it'll be my first...I actually knew nothing about it before about 3 weeks ago. Heard about it forever...but just in my mind, if it's not Phantom...I'm not that big of a musical/broadway fan (which is shocking for me to be a music freak as I am). But one of the people I'm going with wanted to see it...THEN I saw a preview for it and I've been excited ever since...looks AMAZING!!!

Bummer!

Hey Gerald,

How did you find that out? We were suppose to have ours today, but it did not come in either.

Thanks for your help

If you chose under Turbotax to have your cost of filing deducted from your refund Turbotax set up a temporary account at Santa barbara bank. The REFUND was deposited AT Santa barbara and then SB transfererred it to your account after they took out the filing charges.

THEREFORE technically you DID NOT get a DIRECT deposit from the IRS.

THE SB accounts were temporary and are now nonexistent. The IRS does not have your bank account Number therefore a paper check will be issued.

I had figured this out and confirmed my deduction by accessing the Turbotax site and searching for "stimulation".

We filed with H & R Block, so I went to their website to see if the same thing is going on with them as with Turbo Tax.

It's not, thank the Lord, but I read this on their faq's:

14. Will the tax rebate be considered income and will I be taxed on it next year on my 2008 return?

No and no. The tax rebate is an ADVANCE CREDIT for tax year 2008 and will be calculated on your 2008 return. If you're due a higher payment, you'll get the remainder next year when you file. If you received a higher rebate (payment) than you should have, you DO NOT have to pay it back.

Am I reading this right? This money is just coming off the top of any normal tax refund I would be getting next year?
