	>I just received a letter from Louisiana Department of Revenue which
states
	>that my refund request has ben adjusted by a deduction of about
50%. It
	>says my claim was adjusted because the amount claimed is excessive
in
	>comparison with my income. It tell me that I may resubmit the claim
with
	>acceptable documentation. ACCEPTABLE DOCUMENTATION MUST BE FROM
THIRD
	>PARTIES SUCH AS COPIES OF SALES RECEIPTS, CREDIT CARD STATEMENTS,
CANCELLED
	>CHECKS, LOAN PAPERS, CASUALTY LOSSES SCHEDULE FROM FEDERAL RETURN,
INSURANCE
	>ADJUSTER'S REPORTS OF LOSSES, ETC. verifying that the item listed
was
	>purchased by you.
	>
	>They also advised they are not offering direct deposit of natural
disaster
	>sales tax refund checks. All checks will be mailed to the last
known
	>mailing address.
	>
	>There was no check for the reduced amount with this letter, nor did
it say
	>when to expect to receive it.

	>I just thought I would pass this on in case it would help anyone
else. I do
	>plan on sending them my casualty losses schedule, but am now
wondering if
	>they will hold up the portion they said they will pay until I
appeal the
	>rest. It also sounds like, I will have to send them copies of the
forms all
	>over again.

	>I guess its just another way of making us work for our money
