The instructions that came with my 1040, however, say that the $2,000 must be deposited before the date the return is DUE. That of course is April 15. Can anyone offer any collaboration for the CD article? This would be great for anyone with a sizable refund, since they could make it even bigger by claiming the deduction, and waiting for the refund to arrive to make the actual deposit, or so it seems.
