First time in a long time… actually, ever… got my taxes prepared, sent, and received my refunds before April 15. Feels good, except for the fact that all the money has already been spent. Odd thing is my gf is still waiting for her refund and we sent them at the same time (feeling paranoid I guess).

I’m not sorry, Atlas. Like I said, this was by design. Income was up in 2008, and I intentionally paid in just enough to avoid underpayment penalties. The rest sat in a savings account earning interest.

I filed 2 weeks ago using Turbo Tax for federal and printed out the forms and mailed in my state tax returns, sorry to hear that you owe the government.

When I filed in Feb using Turbo tax, I was able to file and then pay later using the electronic payment, so I’d reccomend going ahead and filing.

Nickel – I am in exactly the same situation. Most data is in TurboTax but waiting until tomorrow to write the big check. Don’t you love being at the wrong corner of the tax pyramid?
