It always irks me that we can't effectively file a return without the aid of a for-profit company.We e-filed with H R Block 3-9-22, got the state back in 8 days and federal today. But, snail mailed them last year and still haven't received the federal. Got the state back in about a month.
Everyone always likes to bring this up. Have money in the bank? Are they Paying you intrest? Do they charge you a fee to have the account?Nope. I do not provide interest-free loans to the government.
And that's why most of my liquid cash is not in the bank. We have a nice secure mutual fund that most of it is parked in, making about 6% yearly. Almost enough to not lose too much to inflation.Most banks don't pay interest unless you have a decent chunk of change in there.
