Do you have sources for this?
Local news past few days. Apparently, as people are getting —or NOT getting —their refunds, they are being blindsided.
Some are getting a ‘letter’, but I get the impression that the details are lacking. As a life-long bookkeeper, I would be screaming my head off. One of my parents died in 1964. The other in 1980. Now, I am retired, and I would be burning down the IRS buildings if they tried to reduce my Social Sec over this.
My mother didn’t live long enough to collect any Soc Sec, and my Dad was only getting $252 a month when he died in Dec 19802. I had been supporting alot of his life for the prior 8 years. I even paid the entire bill for his funeral—& I have 3 brothers.
