Revenue secretary apologizes for refund mistake in Kansas
Topeka Kansas Revenue Secretary Karla Pierce apologized to the House Taxation Committee for an error in February that sent about 2.2 million in refund checks to roughly 600 taxpayers. The misfire stemmed from a bug in a new computer system and a 60 day hold that lapsed February 11, with about 480 thousand actually cashed and over 23 thousand returned. Pierce blamed staff for missing an indefinite hold and pledged repayment or tax adjustment, while lawmakers pressed for disclosure and future safeguards.
