80-Year-Old Wins Tax Refund Fight in 10-Year Battle
An 80-year-old engineering consultant, Louis W. Williams of Franklyn, won a decade-long battle to keep a $2,528 income tax refund issued in 1945. A federal judge ruled the two-year statute of limitations barred the government from reclaiming the money, though the government had sought $4,024 including the refund and additional taxes. The case noted Williams’s self-prepared 1944 return and a $3,024 business loss entry that created the refundable amount. The government may appeal.
