Well, if you’re in the same boat I am and you find yourself being stabbed in the back from every elected Democrat you know, and stabbed in the front from any job offering Republican in this state, you’re counting on that early filed tax return to pay some rent and bills, right? Ok, maybe I have a unique situation, but, you may need those tax return dollars as bad as I do. Guess what? You’re screwed; by Democrats and Republicans alike … just like me!

See? You CAN be just like me! Sucks, huh?

IRS: You may have to wait for your tax refund

WASHINGTON – More than 3 million people will have to wait until February to get their tax refunds because of Congress’ late fix to the alternative minimum tax, the IRS said Thursday.

Congress put a one-year freeze on growth of the alternative minimum tax last week, shielding many middle- and upper-middle income taxpayers from first exposure to the tax. But Congress’ late action means the Internal Revenue Service won’t be able to start processing five AMT-related forms until February, delaying potential refunds for those people until that month.

Between 3 million and 4 million people filed in January for their 2006 taxes using those forms, with many expecting a refund, the IRS said. The average refund was $2,324, the agency said.

Oh, goody! Thanks ever so much, Congressional Democrats! The last thing I needed was yet another batch of Democrats working so very hard to make me homeless. Good job, asshats. Thanks ever so much.
