September 2009 K-1 Visa Filers

[kjenkins86 5]

I haven't sent in an actual W2 in 5 years. I've been using the taxslayer.com site. Everything is sent electronically and I usually have my refund ( or bill ) within 2 weeks. You can set it up to be deposited right into your bank account.

I just print my return and keep it in case I am ever asked for it. But, as Seb928s said, if you had more than one job it's tricky to do.. this site actually has a link for entering more than one job and I did that when my company transferred me to Virginia a few years ago.. same company, but different pay rolls, so different W2's. I still used my pay stubs.

I think the site was $9.95 and included State and Federal, but can't remember the exact cost. It helped me find some deductions I wouldn't have found on my own. I've never used TurboTax or some of the other ones, so not sure how it compares.

Oh ok, 1 last question, I mean 2.

Does it tell you what will be your refund or bill before you submit?

And do you pay the fee right then and there or the fee comes out of your refund?

Yes, it tells you your refund/amount you owe.. you have to pay with a debit/credit card. Hmm.. I think you can have it taken out of your refund too, but then I think they charge you more.. or maybe that is just if you do an expedited refund. I can't remember..

If you go to the site it will give you all the info before you actually pay them.

Ok. I'm there now, I just wanted to makesure that I can try it out before I submit it or pay them

I heard the US is doing this too. Something on the news last night, about 6 kids that were walked into the US Embassy and given visas right away. Didn't catch the whole story, but they were saying the US is fast tracking people in Haiti. I am glad they are doing it, but I hope it doesn't hold up people who have really been waiting a long time.

Yes, I agree, I am definitely glad they are doing that, it's a GREAT thing.. but yes, I hope it doesn't hold up people who have been waiting. I know there are still people from October (for Montreal) still waiting.

Also thanks for the facebook update, I'm going to put a status up regarding the deletions now lol.

Oh yes, and thank you Krystle for saying I am not being selfish =)

Hello All! I hope everyone is doing well. Life has been pretty wild here and I haven't been on here in forever it seems. I have so much to catch up with on here. I just wanted to drop in and say HI! I'll be catching up soon.

Welcome back!!

I really, really hope it doesn't hold those already waiting up...but I'm glad they're trying to fast track them. I don't know what I'd do if I had to wait much longer.

I hear ya...

I'm pretty sure Kenyth and I just cancelled our April 25th wedding date..and we're not going to set any date now until I hear about my interview.

We're both bummed.

[kjenkins86 5]

It's pretty slow in here today. Hmmm....

I'm off from work today so I was in bed ALL DAY, and now it seems as if I'm catching a cold. This damn weather is getting to me. I start school on wednesday, only taking 2 classes but they're held together so that's a plus!

[brightskte 18]

Ugh. My face is SOOO burnt today. Every year our store gets all geared up for spring and summer and we pretty much take over the tanning bed at the hair salon next door. Like a dummy I took off my makeup and put moisturizer on and layed the full 20 minutes. Bad idea, lol. Now my face tingles like crazyyy.

But that's okay. I tan so easy it'll be brown tomorrow.

Gotta get ready for that wedding, ya know! We're thinking about doing a zumba class in the store after closing, I can't waitttt!

I'm not even going to entertain the notion that we'll miss our wedding. This is GOING to happen. It HAS to!

Oh Maggie!! Had you done like Kayla had and booked everything already? I really hope not. I am so sorry to hear that you are canceling everything.

I pray you and Kayla will both hear something soon.

hey everyone! i just got back stateside. looks like i missed a TON!! wow...don't even know where to start.

jenn - so sorry for all the stresses and the "issues"...this whole process is so damn stressful and there's so many different factors that can contribute to that (family, distance, communication, culture, etc). it's amazing that any of us manage to get through it without losing our partners or our minds! just know that we are all rooting for you guys to pull through it!

krystle - congrats on the interview date! also, nice to finally "meet" you by name! it's great to have become so close with you guys. i have to say it's been such and incredible support for me, and all your good wishes meant so much to both myself AND my honey.

maggie & kayla - i'm sending tons of good vibes to you that montreal will get you some interview dates, stat!

so...update on us - we're still on cloud nine from the receipt of the "purple paper"...hopefully the visa will come sometime next week. when i have a chance to gather my thoughts i will post a debrief on everything about the interview. now i'm home and missing my honey like crazy and it still hasn't sunk in that the next time i see him it will be HERE! and for good! we're really getting married and finally going to be able to share our life together!! unbelievable.
