Wow, I had a positive surprise today. I had made a mistake on my 2009 tax return, and had to file an amended return. As the result, I got a few bucks back. Today, after just four weeks, a check arrived. And, to my surprise, the IRS had automatically added interest to it, 3.1%. Not bad, considering the bank rates in the last 12 months!  At first, when looking at the check, I thought it was just another scam as the amount was not what I had expected. After inspecting the check a little closer, I saw in small print: interest added: $xx.xx. So that included, it was exactly the correct amount. There was nothing else but the check in the envelope, it almost ended up in the fireplace! |

They will do that if they delay your refund too long also. I had interest added the year it took over 6 months to get my refund check.
The real fun is that they will tax you on that interest when you file next year.
