I LOVE my uncle Sam!!!


I came home to a letter in the mailbox that looked all official from the IRS.

As you can imagine, since I wasn't expecting a letter from ol' Sammy boy I panicked.  Was it a notice of audit because of how weird my taxes have looked for two years?  Did they finally notice that had deducted my drinks at the casino as a business expense?  None of the above.

It seems they noticed an error on my 2007 taxes and ol' uncle Sammy just couldn't sleep at night until he set things right.  So he cut me a check for $275 to cover the error and interest!

Suddenly the day is looking a whole lot brighter nod.gif

CONGRATS! That never happens to me. Unkie Sam always says I goofed and need to send him more.

You should really speak with whomever did your taxes JR as to why they did your return incorrectly. And then tell them you want whatever fee you paid back. I wonder if it was a calculation error.

Um, that would be me hmm.gif

BUT, in my defense, there's something goofy going on with this EIC credit because when I got my tax refund they had changed it and said I didn't qualify for some reason or another.

So I think my return was fine, they changed it incorrectly and now realized the error.  I'll have to dig em' out and see.

I just realized too that the letter I got says I should receive a check in two weeks for $270 for refund and interest, but the check arrived the same day and is for $275.25

Apparently the short time between writing my letter and cutting the check added $5.25 in interest!

At that rate I wish they'd have waited the full two weeks to send it nod.gif

Could be. You know that, generally, the people who work as data entry clerks for IRS are not too bright. no.gif

And you wouldn't have received any more interest. They cut it off as of the day they process it for payment. Correspondence from the IRS is always slower that the check. Two different divisions and such. That is why many of us received our checks before our notice about receiving a check as part of the economic stimulus this year.

giggle.gif For one tax season I did data entry for the IRS. Third shift!!!! doh.gif It's probably not stupids (well, sometimes it is)... probably lack of sleep. I vividly remember laughing myself to tears one night over something someone wrote in the "occupation" field by the signature line... I have no clue why, but at 3AM "Cog in the wheel of commerce" tore me up!
