For everyone who was smart enough to already have their taxes completed and filled out you are probably waiting by your mail box like Elvis in Return to Sender. Fear not, the IRS is not a hoochie momma who will let your romantic, Elvis-esque hip gyrations and tax return go unnoticed. They just like to play hard to get.
But if you are in serious earnest to find out when you will be getting your money back, you can go to the IRS website and check it our for yourself. All you have to do is enter your SSN, how you filed, and the exact amount of your return (sorry to all those work readers who didn’t have the wherewithal to carry a spare copy of their tax return with them for just such a purpose). I checked it out a few weeks ago and it told me that I could expect to get my refund by April 1st. Well, I just checked again and I get my refund tomorrow. W00t.
If you are a California resident then you need to head over to the California state version of what appears to be an identical program. But it has never worked for me so I have no idea when I will get my state refund. I hope it works for you but apparently the state of California really does play hard to get. Stupid Sunshine State making me sit in the dark. Where’s the sunshine? It doesn’t say.
Thanks to Fabulous Financials for pointing me to the IRS site.

I have the same problem here in the dairy state of Wisconsin. I keep checking to see when I’m supposed to get my refund, and it keeps telling me it doesn’t have my paperwork on file yet. Grrr!
