Hi -
I was wondering if anyone filed their federal return online around last weekend, and if you've received your refund yet?

My father passed away last week (no need for kind words, he was sick for a very long time with MS and it's rather a relief). Much to my surprise, I recently came (as in, an hour ago) into a sizable inheritance from life insurance ( Read more... )

I finally managed to snag a legitimate at home job after two years of trying.
Turns out this one's going to pay better than I thought. Now, I have been all over the irs and h and r block websites and eyeballed links on google til my brain is swimming but..
