Thank you Jean. It just doesn't seem justice was served. I bet every individual who wanted to purchase an I Bond was rejected because of an IRS error of adding interest to the refund amount without your knowledge. As I mentioned this opportunity to acquire this I Bond is lost forever as I have already purchased $10,000 directly from treasury.gov We are maxed out at $10,000. The only way you can get an additional $5,000 is through your IRS refund.
It boggles my mind why this IRS mistake can't be corrected. It is what it is I suppose.
