Crazy California Controller

So I work at a tax office. You want to know what I learned today? California taxpayers who submit their taxes after tomorrow will have their return processed and their refund, if any, sent out BEFORE those who sent in and had their returns accepted prior to today. Yup. So if you have already submitted your return and haven't gotten your refund yet you will probably have to wait till those that come in from now on get processed and those refunds are sent out!!

HOW LUDICROUS!!!

The explanation is that there is a back log of returns and so the state will hold those they already have and start processing those yet to come. Hello Controller. That is NUTS.

The solution? The FAIR solution? If there is a back log you pick a date and say everything that you receiver AFTER this date you will hold, in order, and process them AFTER you finish what we have NOW. Then you repeat that procedure if you find ourselves backlogged again.

Who voted for the controller? Oh get this. After declaring that the state would send out IOUs for jury service and tax refunds and saying how the state is in a financial mess he went out and spent over $900,000 on new office furniture. Yup. Real financially responsible this man is, and he's in charge of our money.

I didn't vote for him.
