What to do with a IRS check for $22.00..this is funny
« on: January 13, 2010, 09:57:37 PM »
Unexpectedly, i received a check from the IRS for $22

Deposit in Natwest?.....between the fee and exchange, i'll probably owe them money. Not much difference if i send it to my US account and i won't be going home again for some time.
Think i can exchange it for a couple pints? Maybe someone will want it as a souvineer.

Haha!

I got a letter recently from the manager of a 401k account I had in a job that I quit in 2005.  The letter said there was still money in my account, and to call them to tell them what to do with it.  The letter didn't say how much money it was, so imagine my surprise and delight to find out it was 35 cents.

I had the option to have the 35 cents rolled over into an IRA, have them mail me a check for 35 cents, or they'd just write it off as though it didn't exist.  Because I couldn't be bothered to look up my IRA account number and I didn't want to just give away 35 cents, I had them mail a check to my parents, who deposited it into my US bank account.

So between mailing me a letter and then a check, printing the letter and check, and the cost of the envelopes, I'm guessing it cost them about $2 or so to get me my 35 cents.  ;D
