Battue

I have friends who filed the credit on June 14th or shortly before. Why haven't they received their refunds? The LDR printed on their website a news release saying they would honor all previously filed returns on or before June 14th. Why aren't people receiving refunds? This worries me...Somebody needs to call and ask the LDR what is going on....

The above link is to an article on the news star where a spokesman for the governor is quoted in the above article about the fate of the credits already received by taxpayers. Cathy, please read the article. Is there anyway we can get this answer in black and white and documented? What forums are they communicating this in? Who can get LDR or the governor's office to confirm this? Somebody do some research or call someone. This needs to be communicated. I want to spend my credit and i am tired of sitting on it.

.the news star newspaper in monroe, louisiana is reporting tonight that the governor has stopped the tax credit for alternative fuels. i was really looking forward to enjoying my refund. now, will i have to pay mine back?

I am confused. I thought the state has issued their final decision. They spent the entire spring looking at this. they have had every opportunity to disallow the vehicles. The law is the law. These vehicles qualify. The state has spoken, and they issued an emergency declaration as well as a very thorough revenue bulletin. E85's are alternative fuel vehicles. I don't understand why anyone would continue to pursue this issue after the state has communicated their decision. This can only hurt the taxpayers in the long run. So, you are trying to convince the state that their decision is incorrect? I've spent the last 4 months trying to convince them that the law is the law and there is no way that flex fuel E85's can be disallowed. We all know the state can change their interpretation of tax law at any time, up to 7 years or some period. We all knew this going in. I seriously doubt that 20,666 refund claims will be filed for 2009 alone, this is the amount to get you to your $62,000,000 number. Most people have never heard of this credit.

Cathy, got everything taken care of. was told i had a zero balance. everything should be o.k. I guess the language in the bulletin finally made the rounds....

Cathy, I feel helpless. i called the enforcement division (the number in the revenue bulletin). they said they did not have permission to credit my balance due. they were pretty adamant about it, they also did not know about the bulletin. i am getting worried about my balance due letter. the bulletin states that anybody who has received the credit is entitled to keep their refund. that doesn't seem to be the case. i don't know what to do...i can't get anyone to call me back.....they are telling office audit has to re-process my amendment... that's not what the revenue bulletin says....

Lynn, here in lies the problem. The way the emergency declaration is written, no vehicle sold at retail in the world would qualify. Because all use gasoline propulsion as backup fuel in case of alternative fuel failure, so you're right, even the mighty Toyota Prius has been ruled out by the state with that wording. They don't want anyone claiming this credit....

Ok guys, I received my refund in march. I have a tax due notice for mine due in 10 days. Do I get to keep my refund? What is the states new procedure? In the new document , my vehicle is listed, Does this mean it is allowed? Also how are all taxpayers going to be treated?
