I also filed my return in January and am still waiting. I phoned the IRS last week while I was in Vegas and they told me i'd be receiving my refund in 6 months. It's obviously not fair, but they hold all the cards and run the show. As long as I eventually get my refund I can live with it, but it really isn't a good business practice.
Regards
A.P.

Subject: [vpFREE] 2014 Tax refund delayed
I was just wondering if there were any Canadian players that are still waiting for their refunds from the IRS?
I sent my Tax forms in January of 2015 and I am still waiting for my refund. I was told that their were cutback in the IRS and that tax returns for residents out side of the US will be put on the back burners.
I was told that the refunds would be delayed by 6 months and I accepted that. Then I was informed that the 6 month delay would not start till June 15 and that these returns would be processed by December 15, 2015, well that has not happened and now I'm being told that this refund will only be looked at sometime in 2016.
It's a real travesty as many Canadian gamblers come to Vegas, they pay big dollars for flights and are burdened with the exchange rate which now is 30% and this is how the US government is treating the people that bring in big money and some of their best customers/tourists. It just doesn't make sense.
They take 30% of all jackpots over $1199.00 and when we file legitimate tax returns we are being denied the right to even have these processed in a timely manner if at all.
I just want to know your opinions on whether you think this is right and fair and if this along with other factors will affect the Canadian tourist industry.
