[StBernard] Sales Tax Refund

[Westley Annis]

Mine was cut to less than half.  I called them & they said that they use the
last 2 years of income & how long you were in the house. I stated that I was
in the house for 30 years & sure didn't buy everything in the last 2 years.
She said to send in my last 2 years of income taxes.  Why 2004, I don't know
since only 2005 shows our losses.  She also said they were following state
guidelines.  I told her that the state guidelines must have changed since
the people who filed early got their full refund. And I asked if they were
going to go back to those people & ask for the money back since they
received the full amount. She said that nobody received the full amount,
Naturally, I told that that was not true because I know people who filed
early last year & got the whole refund.  I told her I wanted to appeal & she
was supposed to get her supervisor to call me, BUT....naturally I have not
heard anything from them.

JFR,
 
  My boyfriend is a certified mechanic. He lost almost 20 years of tools,
not including those which he made. He wrote all of them up, because he
purchased them. The state cut his refund in half as well saying his income
didn't reflect what was lost. How in the world did they come to that
decision. If you lived in your home 20 years, didn't you lose 20 years of
purchases, not just the last couple of years. I find the whole hing
ridiculous!!!
