Actually, since the government has a deficit, they can't give you your money back. They are borrowing more money in your name and giving it to you, with easy terms for repayment.

Spending mine on insulation for the attic, beehives. So I am spending it, but also investing it.

I definitely qualify, but I might not get mine because I'm in the process of changing my address. I'm afraid my tax refund might not reach me either. If I do get this money, I'll use it to pay my rent.

That sounds like we even get money if we've never had to file taxes. How do they find you then? Cause I am VERY good at staying off the gov'ts radar... half the time, they aren't even sure I exist.


You don't get a check if you don't file.

Actually I think they are borrowing it from our good friends, the Chinese.

I already spent it (or the equivalent amount, anyway) on vet bills. My dog got salmon poisoning (he's better now).

Well mine is in savings for now... It might still get spent later.

I had a dream last night that somehow the IRS messed something up and wanted my refund back... 8O

I got the $300, and it's all going towards my upcoming vacation in Virginia, or towards my wedding if I don't spend it on vacation.
