My amended return has been processed. How long will it take to receive a check?
Q. I amended my 2008 tax return for the first time home buyers tax credit on October 30th. I called the IRS this morning(Dec.18th), and I was told that it has been processed, but they were waiting for it to post to my account so that I can get a definite date of when the check will be mailed. About how long does this process take? Should I be expecting to receive a check sometime soon?

A. For you, I hope the customer servive representative was correct in their interpretation of the screen. I truly hope they saw a pending transaction showing the $ amount, because that would mean the amount had been entered into the computer...it can take 2 1/2 weeks for a pending transaction to post and cause a check to be issued. Given that it's been taking months to process the credit and you mailed your form in a 7 weeks ago, I'm very surprised.

How do I know what foods are processed?
Q. It seems like everything is processed. Even the things I thought were not (like a cranberry juice I buy and peanut butter), are in fact processed. I would love to get most of the processed foods out of my house to make for a good future for my 2 young daughters (1 and 2). Thanks for any help! I know that all food aside from fresh food is processed in some way, but how am I to know what processed food is good and what is not?

A. My general rule is that if it comes in a box, a bag, a jar, a can or a jug, it has been processed and is suspect and that I should take the time to read the label for anything I may not want in my diet. That pretty much leaves fresh fruits and vegetables and some cheeses as things that have not be "processed", at least not in a totally negative way. When you're reading labels, look at the nutrition label too and look for the total amount of Sodium. The higher the percentage, the more it has been processed beyond what might be acceptable if you were able to find the same product fresh.

why do they make processed salt for cooking purposes?
Q. I mean, there is also unprocessed salt for sale also, its more expensive but more tasty , gathered directly from the ground its more natural and i think that is more healthy, so why do they bothered to make processed salt for use in the kitchen? but when i say more expensive...is still cheap because kind of like 0.99 cents for 1Kg, i find it still very cheap, if they didnt make processed salt unprocessed salt could be even cheaper

A. Table salt: A fine-grained refined salt with additives that make it free-flowing, it is mainly used in cooking and as a table condiment. It will also often contain additives, including iodine (aka iodized salt). It dissolves quickly when exposed to low heat. Other salts dissolve slower and have different tastes and purposes.. check out the website below for a list of the different salts and their uses !! very informative.
