Tax Rebate Letters Weren't Addressed Correctly


BELTON, Mo. -- Several metro-area residents said the IRS made a mistake with their tax rebate letters.

Several residents contacted KMBC saying they got an envelope in the mail from the IRS that had a mistake inside. The correct names and addresses were printed on the envelope, but the letter inside was addressed to someone else.

Residents said the letter revealed how much their tax rebate would be.

On Monday afternoon, Chuck Regner opened an envelope with his son's name and address on it, but he said he quickly noticed that something didn't add up.

"When my single son gets more money back than I do and I'm married, that kind of got my attention," Regner told KMBC's Marcus Moore. "That's when I saw that he was getting $1,553 back, and he's single unmarried and no kids. Then I realized it was for a woman with three children."

2. we got our letter after we got the money

We didn't get as much as the IRS calculator said we would, but we got alot more than the letter (correctly addressed) said. :shrug:

I hope that's not a bad omen.

6. timing depends on your SS number

and whether you filed electronically or by paper.
The last 2 digits of my social are under 20, so we got ours in the first week.

7. Brag, why don't ya'?

:P

We thought we'd get ours direct deposited, but found out that because we paid the fees out of our return we'll get it by mail. Since my husband had the bad luck of having a '68' for his last two we won't see a check until the end of June.

So, we wait. :)

And I swear we got more than we should have... :shrug:

4. That Regner guy has some sense of entitlement doesn't he?

His little, "he's not married and has fathered no children! He doesn't deserve money like I do!" comment. :crazy:
