It was a pleasant feeling. That of the no evening, waning moments, deadline beating rush to the post office ..... Taxes completed yesterday, a day ahead of time. Might be a first for me. I've said this before but it's funny how if you called me up and told me that you had a pile of cash waiting for me, the amount equal to my tax refund, I'd be there in ten minutes to pick it up. But with my taxes, I'm apparently willing to wait four and a half months to claim and grab that money. That's how much I despise sitting down with paperwork or answering questions online.
And in a drastic change of attitude, I decided this year to opt for direct deposit. The thing that I feared, giving my personal information out to someone else, well they (the taxman) already have it anyway. So I was kind of expecting to see my bank account balance go up ten minutes later but I guess that it doesn't work quite that quickly.
I can't imagine what the process is like for the normal person with the normal type of lifestyle ..... Houses, deductions, stocks, kids, etcetera.
