Tax refund

By Terry Savage on March 01, 2022 | Wild Card

Hi Terry,
I never received my refund from last year.
Is there anyway can they keep it and I just paid the difference that I 0wn.
Please let me know.

First, create an IRS Id.me account and see where things stand. Follow this link to learn how to do that.
Then you’ll know where you stand for your previous return.

I would suggest NOT subtracting that expected refund from this year’s filing. You could create a nightmare. Just file for 2021 on the basis of your earnings — and wait for the 2020 refund. You’ll get it plus 3% interest, whenever the IRS gets around to it!
