Where's My Refund - Radio PSA text script

MUSIC UP AND UNDER THROUGHOUT

SFX:     mouse-clicks and sigh of relief.

DAUGHTER HUMMING AS SHE WORKS AT COMPUTER.

DAUGHTER: (to herself):  Yes! Done!
(yelling upstairs)   Hey Dad, up for a movie, it’s on me!

SFX:     Walking down stairs

DAD: (skeptical):   What happened, a record company call with a big contract?

DAUGHTER(exasperated):   Da-aad!  I just did my taxes and I’m getting a refund.  Be nice and I’ll buy you dinner, too.

DAD:     So you think you’re getting that money today.

DAUGHTER: (sarcastically):  See this? It’s called a computer. I e-filed my return and signed up for direct deposit, so of course, I’ll get it today. 

DAD:     OK, Miss Diva, time to go to irs.gov.

DAUGHTER:    Da-aad!

DAD:     Now, click on where’s my refund.  See?  It says that 72 hours after you e-file you can start checking the status of your refund.  It can take as few as ten days to process your tax return. 

DAUGHTER:    Guess you’ll be waiting awhile for your movie, know-it-all.

DAD:     How about we go--my treat.  But I pick the movie.  Something musical. We can sing along.  You know, back in the day I could carry a tune.

DAUGHTER:    Da-aad!

ANNCR:     irs.gov. It’s the best tax tip of all.
