How do I check on the status of my refund from my federal
return
Refund information can be requested at Where's
My Refund? on the IRS web site. The following information is required to obtain
the status of your Federal refund:
- the first social security number on the return
- the filing status shown on your return
- the exact amount of the refund in whole dollars
How do I check on the status of my refund from my Missouri
return?
The Missouri Department of Revenue web site offers a Return
Inquiry System.
The following information is required to obtain the status of your Missouri
refund:
- the first social security number on the return
- the filing status shown on your return
- the exact amount of the refund in whole dollars
How do I file for the stimulus payment/rebate offered this year?
According to the IRS,
“Most taxpayers do not need to take any extra steps to receive the payment beginning in early May.
But there are some exceptions.
Individuals who might not otherwise be required to file a 2007 tax return will need to file a return this year to receive the stimulus payment. The return must show at least $3,000 in qualifying income.”
For additional information see the IRS website.
Can I still file for the 2006 Telephone Tax Refund?
After I filed my 2006 return, I discovered that I qualify for the telephone tax refund. Can I still request the refund?
Yes. You can get it by filing an amended return using Form 1040X. Request the telephone tax refund by filling out Line 15 on this form. Fill out the rest of this form using the instructions for Form 1040X. If you choose to base your request on the actual amount of tax paid (rather than using the standard amount), also fill out and attach Form 8913.
