Did you not think you were getting one at all, or it just came sooner than you expected?

well for TY2014 AND 2015 we didn't get it until AUGUST due to the double-claiming of the kids. with as tight as things have been $-wise, i didn't figure this year would be any different (yaknow, murphy's law and all that).

i literally had tears of relief rolling down my cheeks when i saw the deposit.

That is wonderful!

It might be worth changing your withholding, so that you have that money at your disposal throughout the year, instead of getting one windfall at tax time but struggling the other months.

I'm only getting about 400.00 from federal (last year I owed $5.00) but I'd rather use/save that money myself during the year, instead of the government using it (and interest free, no doubt).

thanks guys, i adjusted my withholdings when dh got custody. we're covered now and i don't have to worry about the electricity being shut off or anything, but we're still going through with the cash-out refi to get rid of the credit card debt and all that crappy interest. once that goes through, with our income/withholdings the way they are we'll be just fine indeed.

this - don't give the government your money over the course of the year. Keep it for yourselves, so you can buy better beer Smile
