Generosity from the State of Georgia?

I gotta tell you, I don't know whether to laugh or cry!  I received a check from the Georgia Department of Revenue in the amount of $.60, that's 60 cents. Why you ask? because it took the Georgia Department of Revenue over 90 days past the April 15th due date to send me my refund. They pay 1% per month when the refund is past the April 15th due date. My refund was $60.00 and I received it one month after the 90 days had elapsed. Thus the 60 cents.

While I think it is wonderful that Georgia complied with the law, but I have to wonder what it must have cost them to write the software, that calculated the interest rate on all of the refunds that were overdue. I know that thousands and thousands and thousands of people did not receive their refund in a timely manner, and I am sure that most of those people were owed a great deal more money then I received.

After what I have been hearing about Georgia's tax revenue shortfall, maybe they need this 60 cents more then I do, you think!?!

I would love to hear your comments folks. Thanks for listening.

This is the gahillbilly signing off for now.
