$72,000
My girlfriend received her tax return today and got a check for $72,000 dollars. KOMO radio is running the story ~~Wednesday~~ Friday morning between ~~5 am - 10 am~~ 7:30 am - 11:00 am. What would you do with a $72,000 dollar check from the IRS?

	I'd be entirely too practical. And then I'd escape to someplace remote for a month or two. (Reply to this)

	This is the only comment here that actually made me chuckle. Although I do think that the ball pit is a good idea. I want one now. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	What, pray tell, was her income? Either she is already rich or she is about to return a lot of money. In either case it is not a significant change in her life. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ibakeit4u 2008-04-09 12:37 pm UTC (link)
	Not only rich, but have to suffer some severe losses (I work as a tax accountant at a public accounting firm). the only client I have seen with that size of a return was because they lost over a million dollars on a business deal. No way you get that kind of cash otherwise. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	She's already talked to the IRS and is returning it of course. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Probably call them and sort out the mistake before they came and arrested you. fucking retards. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It seems kind of retarded to assume she HASN'T especially since she is going to be on KOMO tomorrow. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Pretty much immediately call the IRS to rectify the mistake. I hear they don't use lube. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hah, that's pretty funny. Was it a typo, as in $7200? Or just a giant calculation error? They are idiots. If they didn't catch it, I would have a lot of fun at Nordstrom's. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	jhjanuary 2008-04-09 06:39 am UTC (link)
	Yep! It was supposed to be for $720.00. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	gomezticator 2008-04-09 06:38 am UTC (link)
	Contact them, verify my refund and get a corrected check so I don't get hammered by the IRS next year... because they WILL hammer you. (Reply to this)

	ninaf 2008-04-09 06:49 am UTC (link)
	SHE IS GOING TO BE ON KOMO TOMORROW. Don't you think she would notify the IRS one way or another??? Seriously people, not everyone is a complete idiot. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	appearing on the local news is supposed to make us think she's not retarded? (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Get as much interest on that thing as you can before you have to pay it back. It's a shame it wasn't direct-deposited, otherwise it wouldn't be so obvious when you cash it. (Reply to this)
