    The IRS just sent me a check for $133 along with a notice that I may have paid late fees on my payments that I didn't owe because I may have been in a FEMA disaster area.

    To be honest I remember not checking the box on my 1040 where it asks if you were in a FEMA disaster area but I don't remember Central Florida being a disaster area. Oh well guess I should just shut up and go deposit the check.

    Aren't there just skeleton crews working at federal agencies now? They're probably as confused as you are.

    There's a non-zero chance you get a letter in the next year saying you actually owe money to the IRS. My dad was in a protracted relationship with the IRS where they were just sending each other too much or too little money for what seemed like years. Literally get a refund check one week and then get a "please pay" the next. For once, I understood the anti-tax mindset.

    I was told that my tax information was found on Hunter Biden's laptop. Why would he be hacking me?

    If you care… On the IRS website, you can request a transcript of your tax return. The transcript will show if you were charged a late payment on estimated taxes due for the tax year. The transcript should indicate: 1) why the refund was issued, and 2) if your account (filing address) was designated as an eligible disaster zone for IRS estimate tax payment relief.

    Given your posting history, you should be designated as a “disaster” for other reasons (JK)!

    It was reported recently that Trump wants to do away with the income tax. It will all be tariffs. I thought it was tariffic news.
