Last week, I received a check from the State Tax Board of California for $945.00.
A letter accompanied the money, and stated that I'd miscalculated my 2001 return and had this money coming to me.
Well, the week before, I'd received a similar letter from the IRS, but this one told me I owed an additional $300. So, the $945 would come in handy.
But yet, my conscience gnawed. I've never ever had money returned to me from the state and not much had changed in those years past and 2001.
I knew there had to be a mistake. BUT, they had double-checked my return, and decided I was owed money.
So, I call them.
First time, they're not too interested in figuring out if there's an error. I hang up.
I still don't feel right.
I call again.
This time, a guy says, "well, if it says $2883 in Box Whatever, you're fine."
I check my return. It says "$2022" in the box. I bring this up on my third call.
Still, not much interest. The woman tells me that all my W-2s probably add up to $2883. I consider this. I only have one W-2. These people don't care to work this out. It's as if they're arguing with me to stop pushing, b/c they don't want to spend the time to figure it out.
I dream dreams of debt pay-offs, of buying the fine meats and cheeses I pass in the grocery store, of actually filling my tank all the way up with gas.
My karma hurts.
I call again.
I insist they correct the mistake.
Now, I have an extra $77 and the remaining $868 is on their way back to the State Board of California.
Am I really a good person or just chicken shit?
Of course, you may just call me stupid.
