   Two things – even the IRS was shut down for some time due to COVID-19 & have you called the IRS? There are tax payer advocates & as my sister put it to me – the more times you call the faster you’ll get it :)

   My sister works for the IRS – based on what she has told me, the IRS will pay interest if it takes more than 45 days & the delay was because of an error on the IRS’ side (all bets are off if it was an error on the taxpayer’s side).

   Thanks! I came searching through the comments to find exactly this. I was hoping it wouldn’t be quite as abrupt as it seemed (just last week and today for notice).

   Then it wouldn’t be a decade, which is by definition 10 years!

   Only that is not accurate – 1st century = 1-100, 2nd century = 101-200,… 18th century = 1701-1800, 19th century = 1801-1900, 20th century = 1901-2000, 21st century = 2001-2100, 1st decade = 2001-2010, 2nd decade 2011-2020, etc. I understand the desire to group the years by 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, etc., because otherwise you would have to say the 90th decade, the 1st decade, the 2nd decade, etc., but it is not accurate to describe the end of 2019 as the end of THE decade. You can define A decade as any 10 year range (2007-2016, for example – you see it all the time in statistics), which is what people are really saying – that the end of 2019 ends A decade defined as 2010-2019.

   So happy to see people who actually understand this! I work with some pretty smart people, but I had to sigh when they were saying the decade was about to end.

   Same line as what I was thinking – the dishes that are hand washed after dinner are left to dry overnight and are put away the next day, although for our family it is normally when we get home from work.

   The US does not have an official language.

    This is an exact duplicate of the one published on 2 March. The only change is the date on the strip & where it is placed.
