Go to www.irs.gov and click on where's my refund. You'll need to know your filing status, SSN and the whole dollar amount of your refund.

i believe you can go back five years. but the government can go back as far as they want for non compliance with the tax laws. i hope for your sake that you had refunds coming. because if not you are looking at major penalties and interest on balance owed.

I just did this. Talk to your bookkeeper. It's simple. You will have to file by mail however. So it will take a while to receive the refund. Up to 12 weeks or longer in some cases

If you lost your past return, contact IRS and request it. They will send it to you at no charge. I believe they can only go back so many years though.

Tax returns are basically a yearly reconciliation between the amount you have had withheld from your paychecks and the amount of tax you owe on your total income. If you have had more withheld than you owe, you get the extra refunded. If you have not paid enough, then you owe taxes, which you better pay by April 15 or you will owe penalty and interest as well. Everybody's taxes are different.

Call the iRS at 800-829-1040 and ask precisely if yourtax return has been received when it was posted onto the system.  ALso, if you want to be secured the IRS can fax a copy of the "Record of Account", showing when the tax return is filed & when the refund check was issued.\n\nSincerely,\n\n\nDavid S.

I would forget about worrying about getting money back from the government. Ideally, when you do your tax return you, it should come out somewhere as close to zero as possible. Don't be so hung up on getting money back like most people are. A tax refund is just an interest free loan to the government, money you could've used to pay your debt. If the companies you work for are taking off too much or too little for taxes in each pay cheque, have them adjust it..\n\nJust earn as much money as you can and pay back as much of the debt as you can. Even if you end up owing some taxes next year, it makes more sense to pay off the higher debt first. The interest rate right now on overdue taxes is only 9% compared to the 12% on your debt. And usually you can work out payment plans as long as you aren't trying to scam the feds. Just make sure you file on time so you don't have any late penalties.

You can find your refund info at www.irs.gov in the section  "Where's My Refund?"  You must have your SS#, filing status (Single, Married filing Jointly, etc.) and the exact $ amount of the refund.\n\nIf you want some other kind of detail from the return, that info probably won't be available until after 4/15/2006.

It is just withholding just like from with a w2. You file your taxes and you report the total amount withheld, then you determine your total owed and total withheld and then you pay the rest you owe. \n\nYes 28% is a lot.

If you haven't filed your taxes yet, then there is no return coming to you.  You need to file your taxes to get a return, and when you file them, then you will know what to expect back, (or owe the IRS, whatever the case may be).

The IRS will look at your income and expenses, and they'll tell you what they think you can pay.  You can negotiate on this a little, but if they say $200 a month, you won't likely be able to negotiate it to $25 a month.\n\nAny refunds you'd be eligible for before the back taxes are paid would most likely be taken and applied to your debt.  You could adjust your withholding so you don't have a refund, but don't take it so low that you owe again, and dig yourself in deeper.

The only way a tax refund of  aprevious year is considered in your current years return is when you have received the refund along with interest. The interest portion alone is to be taken into consideration in your current return. Again only when it is received.\n\nIf not received the tax refund of a previous year which has not been received has no bearing on the current years returns.

Getting a refund? Well, you would first consider reducing the amount of money you give Uncle Sam each pay period. If your job will be the same and your pay will be the same (give or take a little) Reduce what you pay in taxes - you are effectively giving Uncle Sam an interest free loan! Now why would anyone do that on purpose? How do you do it? Talk to your HR people - Say you got back $600 - that's $50 a month, so reduce what you pay by a little less than that, say $35/$45. Now you'll have the money to put towards whatever it is you are saving for - new car, house, vacation or maybe even retirement - too early for retirement? The earlier you start, the less you have to put away. As for the money you're getting as a refund? Well, spend that as you would for any other item that you are saving for that is important to you - vacation, new car, house etc. Your money, Your Life, You can make good decisions. Good Luck

Be sure to know what the law is, or you will be looking at legal action and possibly garinshments if you skip it!
