I'm assuming you mean TAX REFUND. A Tax Return is the form you file with the government. A Tax Refund is the government's return of any any money you overpaid.

I don't know why I have seen the term "Tax Return" used incorrectly so much in this way this tax season, but it really annoys me. If you are going to use the a different word for refund (or rebate) then please make it something that doesn't already have an accepted meaning.

Haha! Unless you have a "hiccup!"

I received a reference code 1201. I've been waiting on my return since 1st week in March. I filed in February. Apparently, switching from Married Filing Jointly to Married Filing Separately causes problems when the other half doesn't file until later and there is a over payment from the previous year ($87). I've spent about 2 hours on the phone with the IRS and every time I get "oh, that will take about 2 weeks. If you don't get your return call back." I am hoping third time's a charm!

This is great! I was able to check on the status of my tax return/refund. At least I know my return is being processed and now I have an ETA for my refund.

To MEGHANN/Editors,

Thanks for making the changes to the original post.
