Then they decide to check and see if it meets the legal requirements.

1. They do that kind of thing surprisingly often.

I read recently about someone scamming the IRS out of millions of dollars by filing completely fraudulent returns, which somehow slips by them.

2. We still haven't got our $1800 refund, sent it in March.

10. I got my mid April filing for $5K refund in mid-September. Almost ready to give up.

11. Did you mail yours in?

[NCjack]

13. Yes. The IRS system repeatedly rejected my online attempts to file.

Couldn't get anyone to answer the phone. Logged into my history file on their system, and got the special number I needed to permit online filing. Fail. So, I mailed it.

15. We were missing a form and had to mail it back.

Filed online initially, they sent letter requesting a form we didn’t have when I efiled. (My bad)
I got everything together and mailed back two days later - first week of March.

17. Same thing here. AGI was off. (No it was not.)

2019 rejected 4 times with my AGI and with $0 entered. All wrong! Tried getting a transcript request by phone. Finally almost end of July transcripts ordered. Filed extension for October. Getting refund so no tax due. Agent said file by mail.

Last year got rejected 4 X. AGI wrong in order to ID return by electronic filing.
Charged $400+ late filing fee, $100+ interest and another $32 underpayment penalty already included in tax amount due. They consistently made me late then fixed my butt with penalties. Funds were in my bank account on file, but they jerked around not debiting tax amount owed.

3. This stinks to high-heaven.

8. The refund was given in 2010 by the Obama administration IRS.

10 years ago. The IRS has made no attempt to get any of it back. Which is an indication the income tax laws were followed. There have been all sorts of people claiming all sorts of illegal activity but so far no one has shown any real evidence. This is more of an indication that our tax laws are upside down than anything else.

9. I believe that different departments were involved.

One time an accountant made a mistake on my tax return. I didn’t catch the mistake. I was expecting a large refund because of the dynamics of a business assignment that I had been on for about a year. The IRS immediately sent me a refund check for the amount indicated on the tax return. I cashed the check. A few months later I got another letter from the IRS saying that the refund amount on the tax return was wrong, because the agency sent me too much money, I was asked to return the difference.

My guess. Trump got a fraudulent refund, then the audit group went over the return and found that he didn’t deserve the refund. That is probably why Trump claims he is being audited, he is using all types of tactics to avoid paying the money back. What I don’t understand is why the IRS didn’t get really aggressive with him years ago. In my case, I had a CPA check my tax return, determine that the IRS claim was accurate and then I paid it.
