I filed my federal and state taxes today and am happy to be getting a nice return. I love when they have to give me my money back. I used the online tax preperation at H&R Block and it cost me just under $40. I set it to directly deposit my return into my checking account, so I should have my money back in a week or two. Must be nice to be the federal government and get a free loan from me each year. Maybe I should claim 1 so that less gets deducted from my checks. I won’t get such a nice return come tax time, but I’ll have more money during the course of the year.
