It’s a holiday week so I’m re-posting popular blog posts from the past.
This post from August 2013 is the next-to-last in a series of posts about a client of mine who spent more than 2 years — or 850 days, or 2 years, 3 months, 28 days — battling the IRS after her deceased husband’s identity was stolen.
The whole case still makes me shake my head.
You can read the other parts of this series here: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17
On Thursday, August 1, Wendy received a check in the mail from the IRS for her 2010 income tax refund. We didn’t start celebrating until after she took the check to the bank on Friday and it got deposited with no problems.
The bank did accept the check and we can now call this unfortunate case “closed.”
Two years, 3 months, 28 days.
That’s how long it took the IRS to process Brian and Wendy’s 2010 tax return.
I tried submitting the e-file on April 11, 2011. It rejected because someone had already filed a return using Brian’s Social Security Number. This set off a series of ridiculous misadventures with the IRS that has finally ended now. I won’t itemize all of the extreme IRS incompetence in this blog post, because the sordid details can be found in the other 17 parts of this series.
I celebrated with a measure of some fine Templeton Rye.
I’ll probably do a few more wrap-up blog posts on this topic. And Wendy and I will both be sending letters to our Congressmen.
In the meantime, it’s time to celebrate!
