Last week I got an ominous looking letter from the IRS indicating that there was an error on my tax return. Things got brighter when it said that I had overpaid and would be receiving a check. Well, the check finally arrived and I have an official government check in the amount of $2.28. My S.O. and I have decided that we will need to hold a series of workshop meetings to decide where to distribute these unexpected gains. Can you guys help us out with any suggestions?
I'm wondering how much money it cost them to prepare and send the letter and check. Given that we round all tax return stuff to the nearest dollar anyway, this amount is easily within the range of error of the final tax number anyway. I wish they had just kept it and given me a break for next year.
