Sandy in Indy Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I looked online earlier this week to find out why my refund hadn't shown up...and it said that I'd made an error. Instead of getting money back, we owed almost as much as I thought we were getting. Our $$$ are soooo tight right now that I just didn't see how we could possibly pay anything. So today the official letter came and I didn't open it. I was just too depressed about the whole thing. Tonight I checked my bank account for something else--and there's a refund there--more $$ than I originally thought we were getting! I opened the letter and it says that we made a mistake...and they owed us more than I'd figured. (Guess I should have opened it sooner, hmmmm.) I'm not sure why the website said I owed; I'm just glad it was WRONG. I'm such a happy camper right now! :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3lilreds in NC Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 That's awesome! It's good to know that sometimes errors can work in our favor with the IRS! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 IRS errors - once, in college, I was dunned by the IRS over $12,000 - the exact amount of money I had made that year. Luckily I got an IRS employee on the phone who had a sense of humor and agreed it was a mistake.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 If there's a discrepency on their website, it might come back to haunt you later. Save the letter as proof that they knew they owed you money and not the other way around! Congrats on getting your refund! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
