Niiiice. We couldn’t do the direct deposit thing, since we owed money. We’re going to be stimulating local businesses by putting up a fence for our back dirt. The joy. But if you’re going to spend it, at least it’s spent on the local economy.

Since we e-filed and direct deposited our tax refund, our stimulus check magically appeared in our checknig account a couple of weeks ago. The letter came a week later. Well, at least we have it. Since we are in the middle of a garage-building project, we know where the money is going. I guess a new garage and all the buying associated with it is good for our local economy.

Thanks for stopping by Jennifer G.! I like the idea of calling and casually asking. But I don’t know if I have the guts. He might see through me ;) At any rate, maybe I’ll just give him the benefit of the doubt. After all, this is a HAPPY thing, right?

Congratulations on your early windfall!

You could always call your accountant and ask who is first on your return and then casually ask why it was done that way if it’s not you. Not to call your accountant out or anything…just so you know.

Or you could be a better person than I would be and let it go, assuming your accountant is a genius. That would be what I’d want to do, but I’d totally call. I’m petty sometimes, but in a subtle way :)
