I just love technology when it is used in a positive manner and better yet, when a government agency uses technology in this manner. An example of this is how you can track your IRS refund. You are getting one? If not then you can skip of this, but those of you who are here is a useful web site.
The IRS has a web page set up for your to track you refund. All you need to enter is your Social Security number, filing status (single, divorced, etc.), and the amount of your refund. Click on the Submit button and a another page will come up with an estimated time of arrival on your refund.
When I used the web site today it stated when my refund would be deposited in my bank account, along with when and what to do if the refund did not show up as scheduled. The web page is secure so there is not much worry in entering your information and there are other useful links on the site about phishing scams too. Not bad considering the source. I know I could have filed my return electronically but I am too cheap to pay for something which should be free.
