I did mine yesterday.

I e-filed, and my refund will be automatically deposited.

You?

 done mid February.....

Mine were returned from my tax preparer last week. Owed a lot more than expected. <sob>

Found out it is expensive to pay for your own vehicle (which I've always done) by cashing in an investment! I had to pay taxes on the earnings and capital gains on something I've owned since 1975. I've added money to it over the years and let the divideds buy more. Never included this stock in my portfolio with my broker. My broker probably would have warned me if he had known!

Perhaps it would have been less expensive to take out a short (one or two-year) car loan? IDK.

Wrote those tax checks and mailed them last Thursday. Not buying another new car for a couple of years at least! Or, won't take money from a stock that I've held in my own name for decades. Lesson learned.

We filed our taxes the first week of February and received refund in account two weeks later. Owe a small amount to state and haven’t mailed it yet.

Filed ours in mid February using a service provided by AARP. They don't limit it to any age group either.

Preparer finished it within a few days. State refund already direct deposited into checking account. Owe the feds, haven't sent it in yet.

We did ours early, 3rd week in February.  Our accountant got them done quickly.  We sent in our Federal payment, received our state refund and mailed in our 1st quarter estimated taxes before the virus hit.

Finished it in mid March.  It feels good to have it done and nice to get a refund!

@Anonymous032819 : Went to taxman mid February and worried about having to pay but our medical and contributions had increased, and received refund two weeks later. Taxman was impressed with my detailed bookkeeping and all necessary receipts and documents and said he wish he had everyone else that well trained. I promptly asked if he had a military or senior discount? I tried but he said no. I was happy to put all the paperwork away and return to my retirement schedule. Southern Bee
