Tax Surprise!

We're entering the home stretch of the tax-return season, and some of you may have already gotten your tax refunds from the IRS. But it's likely you didn't get as nice a surprise as Denise Bossetti of Huron, Ohio. She recently got a letter from the Ohio Department of Taxation notifying her that she was receiving a $200 million refund from the state of Ohio.

Unfortunately, the letter also stated that the state was unable to directly deposit the $200 million in Denise's checking account, as was supposed to happen with her refund, and that she would be receiving a check instead. Rather than getting a check in the mail, Denise got another letter a week later explaining that - oops! - it was all a software error.
