Oy Vey.

And the stress is mounting. Again. The newest predicament is with those lovely fershtinkiners we Americans so lovingly call "the IRS". So we are entitled to these "stimulus packages" right? Ofcourse. Even the rest of us Americans who filed an extension to file our return by October 15th. According the "nice" lady at the IRS, my tax return is being processed but wasnt received until the 23rd which makes me ineligble for a stimulus return. So that got me immediatly on the horn with my accountant, because we had that return postmarked definetly before the 15th. Our accoutant used to work for the IRS and he said that if the envelope is postmarked on or before the 15th, whether it is April or October, then we are not late and should be eligible.

 So he said that what probably happened is the person who entered them probably put the post date as the day they received my return and not the date on the stamped envelope. Now he is going to call them and see what schlep did that and get it reversed. Even if I postmarked it for the 13th, I should still be eligible. Its like all those people in April lining up at the blue post box on the 15th to get it in the mail by midnight.
