Drive4COPD 300 Race Report
Driving the TaxSlayer.com Chevrolet, Dale Earnhardt Jr. was a frontrunner for the race’s entirety, leading five times for eight laps. He was caught in a late crash on lap 115, which caused minor cosmetic damage and left the team to finish 15th. Starting on the pole in the GoDaddy.com Chevrolet, Danica Patrick received extensive damage after an incident with teammate Cole Whitt. The pair was looking to advance in the tandem draft when contact from the nose of the 88 machine sent the GoDaddy.com Chevrolet spinning into the outside retaining wall on lap 50. Patrick finished 38th.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., driver No. 5 TaxSlayer.com team (finished 15th)
“The TaxSlayer car was really good, and I had a lot of fun driving it. I didn’t need a drafting partner. I could pretty much go where I wanted, when I wanted. When I went to the back, I could go straight up to the front, no problem. I told Bruce (Cook) that if he builds a car like this at Talladega, we’ll go out and win the thing. He built a great car, and it’s unfortunate that we got collected there at the end, but that’s part of it. I have to thank the 88 Cup crew for pitting the car today. It means a lot to me when they do that, I really appreciate it.”

Every year the IRS releases its most common “tax scams.” These 12 scams, referred to by the IRS as the “Dirty Dozen,” are the most common pitfalls for tax payers and are prevalent year round. With that being said, taxpayers are most likely to encounter them around tax time, which is, NOW. I will provide a brief description of a few of these scams but you can find the detailed list here.
• Identity Theft - Becoming more and more common identity theft are some of the most common and complex issues faced by the IRS. The IRS will notify a taxpayer if multiple returns have been filed using their information. The IRS also maintains a robust screening process to weed out fraudulent returns. However, if you believe you are a victim of identity theft contact the IRS immediately.
• Phishing - Phishing can begin from a fraudulent email or letter encouraging you to provide your personal information. Please note that the IRS will never send a letter or email requesting such information. If you receive an email or letters like this contact the IRS immediately.
• Return Preparer Fraud - First and foremost you can avoid this by preparing your own return on TaxSlayer.com!! Some preparers take advantage of their customers by filing inflated returns or even skimming off the top of their refunds.
These are just the three most common scams. Make sure that you read over the entire list to help prevent yourself from falling victim to one of them. TaxSlayer.com has safeguards built in to help make sure you are protected.
Without fail it seems that the most common question we get from our customer is “When will I get my refund?” While we estimate that most tax refunds are received by our customers 8-10 days from the date of an accepted e-file, some customers can receive refunds in as little as five days. With that being said, once the return has been filed and accepted the refund process is 100% in the hands of the IRS. Multiple delays in IRS processing have resulted in many tax payer refunds being delayed. This issue has affected taxpayers across the United States and is widespread across online tax prep services and tax preparers. The IRS has not cited an exact reason for these delays although many analysts cite difficulties implementing the new (and supposedly faster) modernized e-file system. We have heard a laundry list of accounts from our customers. Fear not, even my refund was delayed. That’s right, yours truly, a tax preparer of almost 10 years and an employee of TaxSlayer.com, and my refund is out in space somewhere. Below is a screenshot of the information provided to me by the IRS.
Keep in mind I filed my tax return on January 21st and this is all of the information that I am being provided. The main thing to keep in mind is that you must be patient. The IRS is going to process all of the refunds in due time and at this point all we can do is wait. The IRS “Where’s My Refund” site can provide the most up to date information. You can get to it here. They also have more detailed answers to questions and scenarios here. Make sure to keep checking and if there is anything else that TaxSlayer.com support can help you with make sure you contact them and they will do everything they can.
