So I owed the USG money. They sent me a bill w/ a 1% late fee attached since I was stupid enough not to pay when I originally filed. I sent them a check. They cashed it. Then I get my stimulus check a few weeks later (a week after I got my COMING FRIDAY teaser) w/ the amount I owed deducted. WHAT THE FUCK GEORGE.

Yeah, ours had our final tax bill deducted too. I don't see how last year's taxes and this year's bribe have anything to do with each other!

^ true American
I'm tempted to actuall call the IRS (HA) about this, but given I owed last year, maybe now we'll be square for next year. Tho thinking about calling reminds of those halcyon pre-911 days when my then-roommate would light up a joint and call the IRS to bitch about how the income tax was unconstitutional and then not give supermarkets his personal info when signing up for a frequent shoppers' card and got one under the name LYSANDER SPOONER.

Woohoo! I guess I'll get a second check too! I thought that "we're deducting the amt of tax you owed" was bullshit if we'd already paid it.

I rec'd my first check within 7-10 days of the date I was sent (which I don't think was the date tied to my SSN).
