Tax Refund Late, 2015 - IRS Says it could be Delayed a Couple of Weeks

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — As much as people may hate paying taxes, they do love their refunds.
Normally, the IRS cuts its refunds checks pretty quickly. But this year, because of budget cuts, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen has warned that there could be a delay in issuing them.
People who file paper tax returns could wait an extra week for their refund — “or possibly longer,” wrote IRS Commissioner John Koskinen in a memo to employees Tuesday. And filers with errors or questions that require additional review will also face delays.
Last month, Congress approved a $10.9 billion budget for the IRS for fiscal year 2015, which ends in June. That’s the lowest level of funding since 2008, Koskinen said.



Koskinen said the budget cuts would result in several other changes at the agency, including:
Fewer audits. Due to cuts in enforcement staff, collection efforts for individuals and businesses will be reduced.
Hiring freeze. The freeze, plus normal attrition rates, will result in 3,000 to 4,000 fewer full-time employees at the agency by the end of June. Including the headcount losses incurred since 2010, that means the agency’s full-time staff will be reduced by as many as 17,000 employees over the course of five years.
Less taxpayer help. Cuts in overtime and temporary staff hours will not only delay refunds, but hurt correspondence with taxpayers as well. Koskinen said it’s likely that fewer than half the taxpayers that call the agency will be able to get through.
A possible two-day shutdown after tax season. To minimize disruptions, Koskinen said a temporary shutdown, if needed, would likely occur closer to June. But, he added, the agency will do what it can to avoid this option, which he called a “last resort.”
Delays in IT investments. Among the delays, will be technologies that offer new taxpayer protections against identity theft.

under60000miles.com / Review / Outstanding Customer Service

My wife and I were shopping for a mini van. We went to every major car dealer in St.Pete.  Dayton Andrews, Crown, Maher Chevrolet, and Park Auto Mall.  Everything was over priced.  The worst dealer ship was Dayton Andrews.  We found a 2006 Dodge Mini van with 34,000 miles for $10,800. When we went to look at it, it was sold. But they had 2005 Dodge mini van with 47,000 miles for $10,400. they also had a big sign that said Drive/ Push or tow any vehicle trade-in for $3,000. which is a Big Lie. They only wanted to give me $1,200. for my 1998 Toyota with only 90,000 miles. They also treated us with no respect. The sales person was very rude and was standing firm on the $10,400. price. Plus they wanted to charge a $650 dealers fee.

Luckily a  good friend of mine told me about www.under60000miles.com which is located 6190 54th Ave North, St Petersburg, FL 33709.  Robert is the owner and is a person who is vary honest.  My wife and I are so happy we came across his dealership. All the vehicles on his lot are under 60,000 miles and are in outstanding shape.  He gave us the deal of a lifetime.  Not even the big dealerships can beat his prices.  Robert also does not charge a dealers fee. Yep, "No dealers Fee". Not only is he a really nice guy, but he is funny too. He had me and my wife cracking up laughing.  He made buying a car a fun experience.


Robert sold us an 2005 Chevy Uplander Mini van in mint condition / supper clean / 51,000 miles / 1 owner / clean carfax for $7,800. out the door.

You herd the saying "A Happy Wife = A Happy Life" My wife is super happy with her new mini van.  Which makes my life very peacefully. So, I would like to say "Thank you Robert" for hooking it up with a great deal on a nice reliable vehicle.

So, if you are looking for a good reliable vehicle that is under 60,000 mile. You will find the best deals at www.under60000miles.com
