I asked about the interest rate. Nothing else.

Those kinds of eff ups happen all the time to our Servicemen and women from what I gather. It isn't like they're in a position to go to Joann in Payroll and have her fix it for her. They have bigger fish to fry.

Joann in payroll wouldn’t have to fix anything would they? Ultimately if you filed you tax return correctly your get your money back

I'm curious about how it is their fault that you paid taxes.

People frequently blame the IRS for something, even when it's not the fault of the IRS. I suspect that's the case here, in which case your reluctance to answer is understandable.

As to the question you did ask, we need more information. What prompted the IRS to give back this money? Did you file an amended return, or was it something else?

Would historic interest rates change based on the answers to these questions? The OP didn’t ask how much they would get, just what the rates were.

No. But the answer to the question would address whether or not any interest would be paid.

I would have been happy to have let the IRS have more of my money if I could have gotten it back with interest after 6mo or a year...

Figures a Tax Phd would get defensive over this...
