Bracing for the end of the month

April 26th, 2006 at 01:40 am

My 4/28 paystub will be online tomorrow, so I should be able to close out the books for April. Dread is not the word! I know we'll be over budget due to the tax bill (along with some discretionary spending that went overboard), the question is how much I'll need to take from savings to get the checking account back to the minimum we keep it at.

As an aside, it's amazing how fast the IRS cashes your check when you owe them (5 days), but how long it takes to get a refund (NYS). The kicker is that my company offers free electronic filing and I didn't take advantage of it. (Not sure why)...

Nothing new on the challenge front. I NEED to mail out the book for half.com (tomorrow's the due date). I'll take care of that on my way to work.

    Next year file electronically! My state income tax return was in my checking account about 5 days after the return was filed.

    We had to pay federal, so I don't know about it.

    Electronic filing also kicks back if there is a problem as opposed to snail mail. You might want to take a look at it for next year.
