    Recently I received $8K first-time buyer’s kickback (I thank all the taxpayers on this board, much appreciated).

    The actual amount on the check was $8,142 since I choose to amend my 2008 tax return and got paid interest on $8K. Based on this http://evans-legal.com/dan/underpay.html the IRS pays 4% interest on overpayments, which is way better than any CD available.

    What is the risk of forgetting to claim $15K in 401k deduction in April and filing an adjustment in December? Is the interest I earned taxable?

    Oh, goody! Seriously! This is just as good as FDIC backing, no?

    Anyone else have any info on whether or not we can “invest” in pre-paid taxes? A win-win for everyone — we get a higher return, and the govt can have the money up front! 😉
