Extra amount: Could be. The IRS has to pay interest on a
timely filed return if the refund is held up by more than 45
days. We're about 85 days past the due date and if the
current rate is 6% (I'd have to check but haven't), then the
numbers fit.

I said "please don't lose it this time" here so I would be
less tempted to say it when I refiled. :-) Had to get it
out of my system.

Before I got around to mailing the 2nd return (I had to wait
for wife to get back in town so she could sign it), my
refund showed up deposited electronically in my bank
account. I guess they found it.

Now here's the weird part. My refund was supposed to be
$1040. They sent me $1054.66. What was the extra 14.66,
interest? It must be, because it wasn't rounded to a even
dollar amount like if they had recalculated my return.

Not that I'm complaining...

Best regards,
Bob

Copies are fine for the W-2's,

Unfortunately a few returns do get lost with-in the
processing system!

I have on occasion found returns (with check attached) stuck
to the back of returns which were being examined for
underreported income, this phase of the process cycle occurs
about a year and a half after (they were filed).

Good luck on your second attempt.

I would leave off the part about "please don't lose it this
time." For all you know the Post Office lost the return.
Even if the IRS did lose it, the person who receives this
copy was most certainly not the one who received the first
one.

A copy is fine.

I called them last week to see where my refund was and they
said they never received my tax return; I need to file
another copy, and make sure it has a fresh signature and not
a photocopied signature.

Since I am expecting a refund, I don't have to worry about a
penalty for late filing, but do I need to send them another
original W2? I sent them the original in April. Or can I
send them a photocopy of my copy of the W2 and write on the
margin that the original was mailed in April and please
don't lose it this time? (or something like that)

Thanks,
Bob
