I talked to one of the few people remaining in the front office - they are currently recovering the sales tax they submitted to the gov't on the tickets, and they will start processing the refunds one section at a time.  The front office only has 7 people left (at least one of whom already has found a new job), so it will take some time.\n\nEdit: I talked to the gentleman in the front office again and he said tentatively refunds will start going out in mid-May.  It will be done alpabetically and the whole process could take up to 12 weeks to complete.

If you want to know you will have to call the IRS and ask them. As of yet there is no way to e-mail or check the status of an amended return like we can do for a current year return. It can take months before they process an amended return.

The government might have recalculated something that your software did wrong.  If you review your return and want to dispute it, you should do so [but only if you have a clean return, the IRS can go back 7 years to dig stuff up on you].

Easy answer ...\nApril 17th, the April 15 statutory deadline for income tax filing falls on a Saturday. When that happens, the IRS pushes the deadline to the next business day. \n\nBut Also ...\nIf you are not able to file your federal individual income tax return by the due date, you may be able to get an automatic 6-month extension of time to file. To do so, you must file Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File U.S. Income Tax Return , by the due date for filing your calendar year return (usually April 15) or fiscal year return.\nhttp://www.irs.gov/formspubs/article/0,,id=98155,00.html

Call your employer. They are supposed to mail them by Jan 31st. If they will not give them to you call the IRS. It is the law that they give you your copy. If you didn't think you will have your taxes done by April 17th (this year because of the day the 15th falls on) then you do need an extension

no, not usually.  you may need the hard copy of last years return.  however, if you did your return online then you should be able to access your return. then yes.\n\notherwise no.  if you do not have the hard copy of your taxes, contact the irs and let them know you need a copy.  they will mail it to you once you prove who you are.  do this asap as it usually takes 4-6 weeks to receive the information.

You can e-file your return.  This is faster and more accurate that a traditional filing.  Or you can go to Jackson-Hewitt or H&R Block (or some place similar) and get money immediately.  However if you do go to one of these places that offer immediate returns, you may not get as much back as you would by filing (either e-file or traditional file).

Wiseacre is correct.  The normal due date is April 15, but since that falls on a Saturday this year, individuals have until midnight Monday, April 17 to file.  If you are mailing your return, you might want to send it certified mail so you know IRS received it and so you can prove when you sent it.  This answer applies to individuals only.

It all depends on what you owe.  If you have a refund, there is no penalty.  Why?  Because the penalty is based on your unpaid tax and if you have a refund, you have no balance due, therefore no penalty.  If you owe, the penalty is approx 4.5% of the tax amount you owe after April 15, for each month or portion of the month that your return is late, regardless of when you actually pay the tax.  The penalty length goes up to 5 months, so the maximum penalty is about 22.5%.  The minimum penalty is $100.00 or 100% of the unpaid tax (Whichever is lower)

Usually takes 6-10 weeks after you file!

Different files need to be saved for different times.  Taxes are seven years but some receipts can be shredded immediately.  You need to classify everything and treat it according to the laws that apply.

If you e-file it takes 3-4 weeks for a paper check. 8-15 days for direct deposit.\nIf you mail in the return then it can take up to 6-8 weeks.

Individual income taxes are normally due April 15.  This year is April 17 b/c the 15th falls on a weekend.  You can file for an extension, but if you owe the IRS money, that money must be paid by April 17th, to avoid interest charges.
