IRS Has Problem

The IRS was quoted as saying they knew there was a problem.

It seems some stimulus checks were mailed to the wrong people. Not that they were not expecting or "deserving" of the $ but they were made out to someone else with that person's social security number.

The recipients have not gotten through to the government to find out what to do with these checks. It seems their system has been so overwhelmed that callers are lost in a maze of "choices" that never ends with a human voice.

So they have checks they can not cash and someone else has their social security number and full name. Talk about a security breech.

Our stimulus $ was a direct deposit and our mail acknowledgement was correct.

'til later
