Please pass this info along to anyone that you know who either recieved the $35,000 or took the buyout and recieved 140,000.00 from 2006 through today. The Feds illegally took out Social Security taxes from these lump sum attrition payments which is not considered taxable income because it is not earned income under the Social Security Test. There is only a 3 year window to file for an amendment to your taxes to recieve this refund. 2005 is already to late.
I went to Flint today and filled a Form, 843 Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement. The people who recieved the $35,000 will recieve a refund of 6.2% of the $35,000 which is $2,170.00 and those who recieved the $140,000 will recieve about $8,100. They will need their 2006 tax returns with W-2's and the check stub of either the $35,000 or $140,000. If they can't find their check stub then they can call the Regional UAW Union Office to get a copy of the original. For more info call Diversified Tax Service. It cost $60.00 and takes about 10 minutes for them to fill out the single page Form 843.
