One More Rebate Glitch

[kst$]

Well it seems some of us will be waiting longer for our rebate checks. If you filed through H & R block or through turbo tax and had you e-file payment withdrawn from you return you will be getting your check in the mail. The article below describes Why.

Here is the explanation from the IRS website: "If you requested that your electronic filing or tax preparation fee be deducted from the amount of your refund, you have entered into a financial agreement with the tax preparation provider or e-file software company for a refund anticipated check (RAC). Both Refund Anticipation Checks (RACs) and Refund Anticipation Loans (RALs) are bank products. The money that is deposited into your bank account comes from the financial institution associated with your electronic filing software provider or tax preparation provider, not directly from the IRS.
