I just got my tax refund. Given that Musk is trying to mess with the IRS, I was worried that I might not.

I filed on Feb. 9th, so this is a personal speed record for me. And why did I get my refund so quickly? First, electronic filing, obvi. Second, necessity is a mother: Lambert House gave me some money, but they never sent me a 1099. I asked Ken if they withheld anything, and he said no. It turns out that you don't have to attach 1099s if they show no withholding, and I (should have) had two of those.

So that's my vacation from last month and bike repair paid for. I have a little left over, but not enough for any of the major home improvements on my list. Meh, it's not burning a hole in my pocket. I can get a few junipers for that super sunny patch on the north side of the yard.

I will not buy more latex or a Burning Man ticket. I will not buy more latex or a Burning Man ticket.

I would be entirely ready to file early... except that the mfing company I just left insists on sending any and all payments and paperwork they touch as late as they can get away with, fucked up the W-2s, and already said we won't be getting our K-1 in a timely manner and should all file for extensions.

Gee, I wonder why I don't want to work for them anymore. *headdesk*

W-2s are supposed to be mailed out by Feb. 1. That's the law.

It is! and they did... sort of. But then sent an email saying there was an error and not to use them. We've gotten corrected W-2s now, but not K-1s (part of the agreement when I sold the clinic was that I got stock in WVP, which has to be reported annually too). They have been late with the K-1 2 of 3 years since then, and this year will be again - they sent out a message saying we should just file for an extension and not expect it.
So if I file now, I'll have to do an amendment later.
Not that it likely matters to anybody who's not a veterinarian, but WVP is a shitshow of a company, don't work for them.

Glad you got a refund! I have to pay fed (as usual) so I'm putting that off till the last minute. Supposed to get a small state refund tho.

You speak financial wisdom.
