Got my 2009 tax return and was pleasantly surprised. Want to pass this on

[CatWoman]

I received an EXTRA $150 due to being eligible for the "Making Work Pay and Government Retiree Credit".

I didn't know this credit existed.

I recieved a letter with the explanation telling me that I can also claim this credit in future years.

Thank you President Obama :)

2. The money is good news, but you're just receiving this?

Or are you recalling some of his accomplishments and help for the masses?

Did you use it to buy your pony? :hide:

3. I didn't file my taxes until last month

I'm a disorganized lazy ass :)

4. So the $150 just about covered your late filing penalty

Shame on you, you coulda used it to buy more chow for them good lookin kitties. :-)

6. There is no late filing fee unless you owe money...At least that has...

been our experience.
