Question: I got a letter in the mail from the IRS stating I owe $70 on November 1st. I mailed check out November 2nd…?

The check still has not cleared to this day. It is to the state of NJ. I called up the IRS and they said it can take 2 months to clear??? I just noticed that I could have made a payment online via echeck, which was not stated on the letter I received. If I pay now with echeck and they wind up finally receiving my check in the mail and cash that too, will I be able to get a refund? Should I wait another couple of weeks? How can they let checks just sit there for 2 months? I don’t know what to do. Help.
Jesus Christ, I called up the number on the letter I received. IRS, State of NJ, it’s the same. I followed the instructions on the letter to a T. Come on, man.

Answer: Don’t fret about it! It takes them forever to go through all the mail they receive. If you mailed your check out a day after it was due, nothing will happen. If you delay it for an extended period of time, there can be interest and penalties but you didn’t so don’t worry. And don’t pay it twice because it’ll take forever for you to get your refund back.

Just wanted to add that when I owed money to the IRS it was just a little under a thousand dollars. Took me a long time to pay it off (I was still a teenager and made a big mistake on filling out my tax forms). Nothing happened to me except some interest and late fees. You’ll be fine.

Self-Help: Individual Taxpayer Identification Number

Question: Is it better to sting or be stung?

Christina introduced millions of primetime television viewers to RAL scams when she played an undercover role in a segment of Dateline, NBC’s Emmy-winning investigative news program.
Pretending to be a naive tax preparation customer, Christina walked into a Jackson Hewitt office with a Dateline producer who had a camera hidden in his sunglasses. The tax preparation employees were caught on camera as they tried to convince Christina to take out a high-interest RAL. “The Jackson Hewitt employee said it takes the IRS too long to process a refund, and made RALs seem so much faster,” Christina explains. “It was surreal to see myself on TV. I had family members calling from Minnesota and New Mexico to tell me they’d seen it.”

Where were her journalistic ethics?

Answer: Bees die when they sting so I’d rather be stung. Naturally I’d also rather be a human than an insect.

Tax Tips: Tax Scams – March 2009

Question: Does the IRS really take 6-8 weeks when there is a delay/offset on your federal refund?

This is the first year this has ever happened to me. I only owed $100 dollars.
I filed on 01/16/2009 accepted on 01/18/2009. Supposely they mailed out the letter on 01/29/2009. still havent recieved the letter. It was federal taxes that I had owed. Sorry I should have been more detailed.

Answer: Depends who you owe. If you owed the IRS, it doesn’t take that long and you usually get your money on the regular refund cycle. If it was a different federal agency, it will depend on whether or not all the information is set up properly.

If they have correctly told the IRS that they only need the $100, then you should get the rest quickly. If they are still processing your account wherever you owe, it will take longer.

added: If you talked to IRS and they said they sent a letter but didn’t show the refund scheduled to go out, it sounds like they are still reviewing the past debt (and possibly this return if they debt was due to a filing error in the past) to make sure everything is in order before they do the refund.
