The IRS is threatening to seize a Tennessee man's farm after charging him interest on a $20,000 refund it accidentally sent him, which he immediately tried to return.
Wilson Perry Kirby, 76, says he was accidentally sent $20,000 by the IRS in 2022.
Kirby immediately tried returning the money and even hired an accountant to fix the issue.
Instead, the IRS is now charging him interest on the money he tried returning and is withholding his 2025 tax refund.
"I've tried the president, governor, mayor. They don't mind asking you to vote for them, but when you need help you can't get ahold of nobody," Kirby said.
Despite trying to fix the problem, the IRS is still sending letters, demanding he pay interest on the money they accidentally sent him that he tried to return. He never spent it.
The IRS is now threatening to seize his farm if he doesn't pay the up to $4300 (and growing) interest.
Infuriating.

I FEEL LIKE THE AMERICANS ARE SEVERELY UNDERREACTING TO THE FACT THAT EVERYTHING IN THE US FROM POLITICS TO FOOD HAVE BEEN POISONED BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION 🙄
RFK Jr: "President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction."
No, you imbecile. That’s a 98.33% drop. No math besides make-believe math makes it 600%.
