ROUNDING ON TAX RETURNS BUT NOT ON NOTICES
Taxpayer received 2 envelopes today from Indiana DOR to notify them that their overpayment on the 2021 tax return has been reduced by $.18. Yes that is 18 cents !!!!!!! The instructions from IDOR are as follows.....
ROUNDING REQUIRED
Each line on which an amount can be entered has “.00” already filled in. This is to let you know that rounding is required when completing your tax return. You must round your amounts to the nearest whole dollar.
Makes no sense. Do you want the amounts rounded or not. Why 2 notices - it wasn't one to taxpayer and one to spouse. One was a detail of the changes to return and the other was indicating there was a liability that reduced the carryover. What a waste of time and money!
And the notices were addressed to Taxpayer XXXX and Mrs Spouse XXXX .... I find that odd.
Edited: changed IDOR to Indiana DOR for clarification
