Tax refunds are like inheritances that you get when someone passes away and leaves you money. No one counts it as income, as it is a ONE TIME PAYMENT. They only want to know about the income that we make. Not anything about tax refunds, inheritances, etc.

And before you say yes, when my aunt passed away, she left me a little over $30,000. When I asked them about it, they said no, they didn't care about it.




Way wrong. Im not trying to start any thing with you. I hope you dont get an IRS audit on that 30K! If it was your wife that passed, then no, you wouldnt pay tax on that.
