The end of our Tax Saga ???
maybe ???
I got the following letter from the IRS yesterday:
"We are pleased to tell you we did not make any changes to the tax reported on your return. We will be returning any original documents you sent relating to your return in a separate envelope. If you are due a refund, we will send it to you within six to eight weeks, provided you have no unpaid accounts or other legal debts we are required to collect."
Questions for all of you who are ahead of us in the process:
Does this really mean that we might see our full refund within 6-8 weeks???
Or is this just one more "step" in the process, that I'm not supposed to get too excited about?
Are they really paying interest? (as I've heard rumor of)
Can I really expect the $$ in 6-8 weeks?
Any chance it might be earlier?
Where are YOU in the Adoption Tax Credit Process?
How many of YOU have received your full refunds?
Just wondering ...
NEWS FLASH! NEWS FLASH! NEWS FLASH!
I went online today to check my bank balance and discovered that ... THE IRS DEPOSITED THE $$$ LAST FRIDAY!
Not quite the full amount. We still have about $5,000 to "discuss" with them. I don't know exactly what they paid and/or whether they paid interest, since we have no statement from them that we have been paid.
But ... there is more $$$ in our bank acct. than there has been in the past 2 years and this makes us VERY HAPPY!
Now ... we get to decide what non-profits we would like to BLESS with our extra tithe money. I so LOVE to be able to BLESS others.
Then ... we need to take a deep breath and look at all of our lists to see what we NEED to take care of financially. We definitely have some car repairs that need to be made, etc...
And ... we need to figure out how much we must set aside for living expenses the next few months. Papa only has 1 or 2 painting jobs lined up, so things could get tight this winter.
But ... we are PRAISING THE LORD for HIS provision!!!
PRAISE JESUS! PRAISE JESUS! PRAISE JESUS!
Woo hoo! So happy for you!! My life has been so crazy that I haven't even "reported" anywhere that the IRS called us last week and the person on our case said she anticipated "closing the case" that day and that we could anticipate receiving the refund we had requested! Ours is "only" $3666 but that will almost pay off what we have remaining in revolving debt!
ReplyDeleteAs far as your giving, I just want to put a bug in your ear about our DESPERATE need for transportation in Ghana. We are trying to raise this huge amount of money--$15K-$20K, and transportation just isn't a need that folks feel a heart draw to give to. But it's that vehicle that delivers the food and the school tuition and the medicine! =-)
That is just so wonderful news!!! praise the Lord, bless the Lord! :) :) halleluYah! :)
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo with you!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! We got ours by the time we got our letter as well.
ReplyDeleteWonderful blessings to you!!! I am so glad.
ReplyDeleteWe are still on hold. We turned ours in March and we keep getting put off. We call and call and we keep getting letters that they will be getting to us in the next 4 weeks. Still no luck.
We had hoped for it to help us finish our move (all our stuff is on the other side of the US). I just pray miracles can happen soon. Winter is coming to fast and then we are stuck until next spring.
Is there anything you did to get this moved along? Any advice?
So happy for you!! Been praying that life took a turn for the better for you. You have struggled so!! God is good!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praising the Lord with you!!!
