Not a good list to be on...

Heard a little bit about this previously, but just found this article about states that are having problems with supplying refunds that are owed to taxpayers. It's not very long, but supplies information about other states in addition to Idaho.

This kind of situation could cause an emergency for people who were depending on their tax refund for food and/or other necessities. Emergencies can come in all shapes and sizes, so I truly hope that everyone will put food and/or other necessities aside for potential emergencies. What you have in your closet/storage room/pantry is a sure thing, while apparently what was a "sure thing" in the past in terms of a tax refund may be a long time coming--sometimes an emergency can be caused by a delay rather than an actual event...

Kansas delayed last year until the people threw a fit. Once again they are threatening us. One reason we get ours done very early.

The Kansas Prepper.

Phelan--That's a smart practice--thanks for your comment!

APN--I was surprised too. I hope it works out in a good way for our state--thanks for your comment!

You can add Hawaii to the list as well. Our state officials had told us that we were getting them in the summer. This is so wrong.

Aloha2U--I am sorry to hear that--I wish that there were not so many states having this problem. Thanks for your comment!
