Man ...that e-filing is fast

[RickB]

I love using the efile. Got the federal in no time at all. However, the state is another story. Our current governer in NYS decided that he wants to HOLD the state refunds due to lack of cash flow. I filed my taxes just one week before they announced the holding of our state tax refunds.

If they DON'T mail my refund by june, I believe they will have to add interest to my refund. :thumbsup: However, whats the point of efile if they gonna hold onto it. Waiting for a State Tax Refund? Don't Hold Your Breath | NBC New York

That's exactly why I used the 'free' Turbotax federal e-file and printed and filed a paper copy with NY. I do the same when I get a fed refund and owe a small balance to the state, which seems to be my usual situation other than 2009. Nothing in my applicable tax codes dictates that I use the same filing methods for Fed & State taxes.

Have not got my refund yet. It only been 6 days. Direct deposit for Federal and State. We use TurboTax online. Makes it easy to use if you have a half way decent connection.
