The IRS is threatening to seize a Tennessee man’s farm after charging him interest on a refund it accidentally sent him in 2022.
Wilson Perry Kirby, 76, received an accidental $20,000 refund from the IRS on May 10, 2022, and he immediately tried to return the unspent money through his accountant.
More than four years later and Kirby is still fighting the IRS!
The IRS is withholding Kirby’s $1,800 refund from 2025 and is now threatening to seize his Coopertown farm over interest charges up to $4,300.
“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 a hold of nobody,” Kirby told WTVF.
Kirby said he thought the matter was resolved earlier this year when he heard from Senator Marsha Blackburn.
“Well, they called me right before I went on television this last time and said it was settled, from Marsha Blackburn’s office,” Kirby said.
