...for the smallest tax return ever. (less than $5)

But at least I don't owe them any more money. Woohoo!!

Posted by Lissande (Member # 350) on :

I got $1 once.

Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :

Oh. Did they actually cut you a check for that?

Well it might not go very far towards fixing your car, but maybe it can buy it a an air freshener or, uh...something. Wiperblades, maybe? ok, well like, maybe one...

That's nothing, back when I owned a few shares of IBM, and before I figured out how to set up dividend reinvestment, IBM sent me a check for 6 cents.

They sent it first class mail, even [Smile]

Somewhere around here, I have a refund check (from a jewelry store) for 17 cents... Never understood why the postage was 20-odd cents back then and they still sent a check worth less than the postage stamp.

Hey, I was hard up for money back then, but not that hard up.

I got a tax refund for a dollar once too. I kept the check--I figured it was worth a lot more as a conversation piece than the dollar would have been as legal tender.

I get a check every year from my 0.0000000000876th percentile of ownership in some oil well in Oklahoma. Last check was $0.07 and sent first class with a bunch of paperwork.

I don't report that income on my tax forms. [Wink]

I once tried to figure out how to just "give" my share over to someone else in the family (so between the two, they might actually get 14 cents) but it was more paperwork and money than the effort was worth.

I got a tiny check. $0.22 sounds close. It was a settlement for some class action lawsuit against a credit card company. I think we deposited it, we do a lot of deposits all the time running our own business anyway.

Way to go, Noemon. No wonder the federal budget is such a mess. They've got an outstanding check that they can't reconcile.
