After you file

True Critter2...but its difficult to wait for the refundable credits when you're grossing less than $19,000 and raising kids. For me-when I was getting eic-it was akin to almost drowning and just keeping my nose out of the water till I got the money to catch everything back up and pay a little ahead because I lived and worked in a resort town where the winters are long and hard Lol!
