“ They are trying their best to keep our refunds if they can. Pretty soon nobody will ever get any back that they paid in owed or not.”
Our refund gets rolled over into this year’s tax payment, so I am guessing
they won’t bother to review our tax return. It is almost like some kind of extortion.

I do that too because I am in business. Just let it ride and cover part of the following year.
It is the time honored “obstruction and delay” tactics first invented by large commercial companies to keep your money in their hands as long as possible. It first began when fair interest was paid on bank accounts, so the longer they held it the more interest they accrued from your funds in their hands. With government it is just plain putting their deficit burden directly on us by withholding our funds a long as possible.
But with business it is:
“Not my department, I will forward your concerns.” then, “Not my department, I will forward your concerns.” then again, “Not my department, I will forward your concerns.” Around and around in a circle.
“Waiting for approval to disperse your funds from my superiors.”
We need you to fill out another form we require before we can disperse payment.”
“Not our fault, it was accidental Computer error.”
“Sorry the check was made out wrong, we will send you a new one and it should be there in several weeks.”
“Our policy is we only send out disbursements 90 days after billed.”
Etc...
And now days just try and reach a human to talk to about it, some companies you can never reach a human, the human option is not even available. You are completely at the mercy of a computer that uses “one size fits all” protocols that never address your own personal unique situation.
Government is getting even worse using similar obstruction and delay tactics.
Time value of money.
