Difference May Appear
In Income Tax Refund
Was the amount of your refund check
different from what you expected?
“Don’t be disturbed—you will receive
an explanation for the difference with
in a few days from the Internal Rev
enue Service,” J. E. Wall, district direc
tor of Internal Revenue, said.
When a refund income tax return is
received in the Chamblee Service Cen
ter, it is carefully examined for obvious
errors or omissions. If there is an error
in arithmetic, a correction is made after
the information on the return has pass
ed through the computer.
A refund check is then issued for the
corrected amount of a refund. In the
meantime, a detailed explanation for the
difference is mailed to the taxpayer im
mediately. However, this notice may not
be received until after the taxpayer has
received his refund check.
Director Wall said that “When you
receive your refund check, if you dis
cover that the amount differs from what
you expected, please wait a few days
before contacting Internal Revenue.”
But, after receiving the explanation for
the difference in amounts, if there are
any questions, address your inquirj' to
the District Director of Internal Rev
enue for your area.
