It's not everyday that you get a letter from the IRS. We did today. Naturally, it was the first thing I opened.
You may remember that last August we got a check from the IRS for an adoption credit. That check included $104.43 of interest. The mailing today was a 1099 reminding us that we are required to include the $104.43 interest payment in our 2012 Form 1040.
That's not such a big deal. Letters from the IRS can be a lot worse than that.
On a related note, you may also remember that we finalized another adoption in April 2012. I'm no tax expert, but it's my understanding that the credit for adoptions finalized in 2012 go back to non-refundable status. That's not so good. For us, anyway.
