What is the name of your state? IN
I was married in 1997 in Las Vegas. I paid some company a fee to change my name with various agencies, incl. SSA- or so I thought.
Our tax filings for 1997-1999 went smoothly on paper forms. However, in 2001, my husband used TurboTax to file in the 11th hr. and then didn't follow up. Apparently, my married name didn't correspond with my SS# and the taxes weren't filed.
No biggie as we were due refunds. I went downtown in my city and changed my name in person with the SSA and received my new SS card a week later with my married name. We filed our 2000 and 2001 taxes at the same time in Apr. 2002.
Because of the snafu with the 2000 taxes, we never recieved the credit George W. gave all good tax-paying citizens. To compound matters, both the 2000 and 2001 refund checks came with my FORMER name on them anyway!
Is there any way to receive the money that was sent to all who filed a 2000 return? We filed but it was never accepted because of the name thing. Once the name was changed- and confirmed with the SSA- our checks came with my old name anyway.
Lastly- if you don't have an answer for me- do you know the next step I can take? The phone and people lines are nightmares.
