Jeremy Lin, global phenomenon, spent Sunday afternoon at Hamilton College in central New York state, watching brother Joseph score four points in his final home game, one (suddenly very, very familiar) face among the 783 at Scott Field House.
Elsewhere, of course, the basketball-speaking world has gone gaga.
“I feel like I’m in a dream right now,” Lin told news reporters Saturday night in Minneapolis after more heroics, another New York Knicks victory, another page in a fairy tale that will last for . . . nobody knows.
IRS OWES MORE THAN $3 MILLION TO N.M. RESIDENTS.(Main)
The Santa Fe New Mexican (Santa Fe, NM) April 12, 2000 Byline: KRISTEN DAVENPORT Officials say one person is owed $60,000, but name remains secret Imagine: The Internal Revenue Service might owe you $60,000 and you don’t even know it.
Somewhere out there, someone in New Mexico — or someone who used to live in New Mexico — has that much coming.
While the rest of us scurry around to get taxes finished this week by the April 17 deadline — more often paying rather than getting a refund — about 750 New Mexicans have money owed to them from past years that they haven’t retrieved.
The deadline this year is moved to Monday, because tax day — traditionally April 15 — falls on a Saturday.
Rep. Tom Udall, D-N.M., requested a list from the IRS recently of New Mexicans who are owed tax refunds from past years. The grand total: $3.2 million. The refunds owed range from $1 — not even enough for a gallon of gas — to a whopping $60,000. this web site irs tax refund
The average amount owed to the 750 New Mexicans is about $650.
The IRS would not, however, provide a specific list of how much was owed to whom, so no one knows who should be getting the $60,000 or who couldn’t even buy a fast-food burger with the money owed them.
“It’s sort of like the missing lottery ticket,” said Deborah Martinez, press officer with Udall’s office.
The list of all 750 names will be posted on Udall’s Web site by Friday at www.house.gov/tomudall. Udall’s office is also trying to reach some of the people on the list — as of Tuesday, with zero luck.
“I’ve tried about 25,” Martinez said, without finding a single person owed the back taxes. Udall’s office will try to contact those who lived in his district in the northwest part of the state.
But trying to give back tax money isn’t as easy as it might seem.
For instance, one John Calef — address previously in Santa Fe — is owed some back taxes. But no John Calef is listed in New Mexico; a family named Calef in Los Alamos says they don’t know the John Calef formerly of Santa Fe (although they did have an uncle who died five years ago; he never lived in New Mexico).
There are four John Calefs listed nationally in phone lists. Contacted Tuesday, none admitted to ever living in Santa Fe.
Many of those owed back taxes could have died, Martinez said. Others have moved away, or were married and changed their names. irstaxrefundnow.net irs tax refund
“I want to spread the word about these undeliverable and unclaimed tax refunds in hopes that people will see their names on the refund list and call the IRS to claim their hard earned money,” Udall said.
The postal service returns thousands of IRS tax-refund checks as undeliverable each year. Postal regulations require that government checks be returned when the taxpayer moves or changes a name and doesn’t have a check addressed in their new name.
Some checks are returned because the address was illegible or incorrect.
People on the list can call the IRS at (800) 829-1040 to find out what money is owed them.
