Ridiculous. Aren’t you owed interest?
One would think...and yes Illl hammer that.
People are going to pay more attention and set their with holding properly so the government doesn’t have their money in the first place. If they don’t collect it, they can’t refuse to give it back.
(I’m looking at 5 months to get my return...here is what is online at Georgia department of Revenue)
From the Georgia Dept of Revenue website:
Refund Processing Schedule
In our continuing effort to provide up-to-date information to our customers, the latest refund processing schedules can be found below. The department has had to join other state agencies in reducing its budget resulting in a nearly $12 million dollar reduction or 10%. In order to attain the reduction the department terminated 18% or nearly 280 positions since October of 2008; 155 of these positions were in our processing center. We have hired 70 additional employees in the last two weeks in our processing center which should increase the number of returns we process each week. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
We are currently working paper returns received between: April 1st – April 6th
Refund checks for these returns will be mailed between: July 7th – July 14th
Paper returns received prior to April 10, 2009 will complete processing within 10-14 weeks.
Paper returns received after April 10, 2009 will complete processing within 14-20 weeks.
