Client received corrected W-2 after original return filed and accepted. Gross Federal wages dropped a small amount, and federal withholding stay the same. The difference would be a $25 refund. Client decided he does not want to file corrected return. What is the probability of the IRS correcting this automatically when they receive the corrected W-2 and giving the client his $25? In the old days I would say a pretty good chance but since covid there has been a big mess down there at the IRS and there still is. What do you guys think? He can use that $25 to buy a couple of Big Macs, fries and cokes, for him and his wife😉😁. Just joking.

For 25 bucks I think it is a flip of a coin whether or not they will ever see it.

I am counting on them getting that $25 because after their extravagant meal at the Villa de McDonald Ristorante, there should be a little bit of change left, and they can get Heidi 🐕 some Chicken McNuggets on their way out.

Chicken nuggets aren't healthy food for her. Go with the cheeseburger.

Zero chance. Even if it were a change to withholding, they wouldn't bother with less than $100 (probably, more). But there is no way IRS knows the wage amount shown on the return is the original incorrect amount, or a combination of the corrected amount and some random one-day gig. Most of that data entry you do for electronic filing, doesn't get used by the document-matching system.

With the way that IRS has been doing things lately, I would say there is a good chance that the corrected W-2 will trigger an IRS notice saying his Partnership return from 1998 is late. 🤣

Iron Man, you must be a mind reader or something. That's what we had for dinner cheeseburgers. Were you ever in India and learned with gurus and swamis?😉😁
