After you file

Thank you so Much I was really worried they were going to keep my entire refund this yr. according to the letter. it just says I need to file a 2013 1040 return. so they can determine wether I owe additional taxes for 2013. once I have filed they'll determine wether I owe an additional taxes.which could take up to 12 weeks to process. and if I owe anything taxes they would do anything offset and issue the remaining amt. but like u said I last my home due to forclosure and I didn't gain and my 31,250 check I received is almost the exact amount I would have purchased it for 16 to 17  yrs ago.  I have the original 1099 misc coming from rust consulting who issued the check coming in my email and I also have the paper that was attached to the check showing it came from rust consulting the independent forclosure review.
