Okay, first off, I was a few years behind. I always overpay on purpose so that I'm not delinquent, even if I do not file for extension. I was finally catching up.

On a Monday (actual date doesn't matter), I mailed in my complete package for 2023 tax year (USPS, certified priority, at post office). I elected to apply my full refund to 2024.

On a Thursday of the same week (so, fourth day after I mailed 2023), I mailed in my complete package for 2024 tax year (same USPS/certified priority/same post office). I elected to apply my full refund to 2025.

I waited and checked transcripts periodically, then got a letter that they had accepted my 2024 filing, but had modified it (don't remember exact language. I save all letters from the IRS, if it's important to check...) because there was no credit to be applied from 2023. Confused, I checked again-- 2024 had been accepted, but 2023 had not yet processed! I'm guessing they got in different piles and somehow got processed out of order.

Then, they processed my 2023 tax year, maybe 2 weeks later, and ACCEPTED it as applying full refund to 2024 tax year.

So what do I do now, so that I get the full 2023 and 2024 refund applied to 2025, which I'm finally ready to submit?

Any ideas/advice (on how to resolve this, or just in general relation to this situation) would be appreciated!

(thanks in advance)

 

I have been a Neko Case fan since I first heard her voice. Her 2002 album has been a go-to album on long drives since it came out. I've probably listened to it more than 100 times, and maybe more than 2 or 3 hundred in the 24ish years since I first got the CD.

Spotify suggested Em Beihold to me when her 2022 album came out. I am old enough that I listen to whole albums from beginning to end and HATE algorithm-generated playlists. (A carefully made mix tape is A-OK, though!) I do not listen on shuffle, and I don't listen to best ofs or compilations, if I can help it.

A few days ago, a friend who knows I like Em Beihold put on something I imagine was "Em Beihold Radio" or some such bullsh!t on Spotify. The song "Until I found you" came on, and I was really excited to hear that Spotify was suggesting Neko Case songs to people who like Em Beihold...

... Then I was really confused, because it was a dude singing the song as a duet with Beihold. I made some comment that it was cool that they were covering a Neko Case song. My friend was confused, so I went to play the original from Blacklisted.

It wasn't there. It had been right after Ghost Wiring, the second to last track, IIRC. The only credit now is Stephen Sanchez from 2023. It still sounds like a track that belongs on Blacklisted. I'm so confused. I've definitely (??) never heard Stephen Sanchez sing it, never even heard his name before.

Like Danny Boyle's 'Yesterday'???

(due to human fallibility, and our lack of insight into our own minds, I can't absolutely rule out that I'm wrong. But I would swear that I've been listening to this track for more rhan 2 decades.)
