NC Keeps YOUR Overpaid Taxes by Force

This is beautiful. If you overpaid your taxes, and you are owed a refund - that refund can only be processed by a employee - who doesn't have to process it under any time constraints. He can wait 20 years if he wants to - you however, only have 3 years to claim overpaid taxes. So if you don't know about your refund until after the 3 year limit - guess what? The state keeps your money for itself. 

God I love democrat legislating...

From the article:

"But that policy changed last year. Top revenue officials now say that an overpayment flagged by a computer is not considered to have been discovered until it is later verified by an agency employee.

The new policy makes no provision for conducting this review quickly. As a result, the Revenue Department can hold on to overpayments until it doesn't have to pay them back"
